            Have you ever been through the most extreme hardships, misunderstanding and mind-boggling pain? Well Adoniram and Ann Judson are some of the most faithful hardworking and very misunderstood missionaries. Here are their stories. Adoniram came from a Christian family but joined a gang to oppress Christians as a young person. Ann came from a rich family that claimed to be Christion but, Ann often questioned her faith as a young person. When Adoniram was in college one of his partners in mocking Christion’s died. Adoniram was shocked and became a believer. In a short amount of tine Adoniram met Ann and they were in February of 1812 in Bradford Massachusetts. Fourteen days ladder the newlyweds sailed for India. On the ship their first two babies died. on the way to India Adoniram diligently studied the bible to oppose Willian Carrey a famous Baptist missionary. But while studying, he and Ann found that the Baptist principles were true and were baptized by Carrey, when the British east India company heard that they Americans were in India the sent the out the story of the faith of the Judson’s is an entrusting one.          

            The work that they began in Burma was difficult. After they were sent out of India the Judson’s hopelessly sailed to Burma, a land where the gospel had never been preached. In Burma the people did not listen. the first step wasted learn the difficult language   many years later, because Ann was better at the language, she helped Adoniram translate the bible into Burmese and make a dictionary. Six years later they baptized there first Burmese twelve years later they baptized there first Burmese. twelve years later the church grew to eighteen members. Suddenly sickness struck the palace Adoniram and his co-worker Dr. price were called. this was a food chance for Adoniram to preach. Many people became Christians in the palace. While they were working, they heard that Ann was going to have a baby in about six months. The work that god had for Adoniram and Ann to do was difficult.

            Through prison and hardships, the Judson were faithful. In 1824 war broke out between England and Burma. because they had white skin Adoniram and Ann were thought to be spies. Adoniram was sent to prison. while he was in prison an had her baby. Ann walked four miles in the middle of the night to the prison and have him the translation of the bible hidden in a pillow, Adoniram was released seventeen moths later to translate the peace treaty after he was realest Ann and the baby both died, Adoniram died on a ship at the age of sixty two and was buried at sea through prison and extreme hardships the Judson’s were faithful

            Adoniram and Ann’s faith is outstanding two me. And how they diligently started the work in Burma is encouraging to me and finally their faith through hardships is inspiring.
