Climbing and Kwan's wedding in Chiang Mai

After Chiang Rai we went to Chiang Mai to visit some old friends and vacation a little before leaving Thailand. We stayed at our friend Emi's Lighthouse Guesthouse, a great Christian environment in a good location. Anyone visiting Chiang Mai should check her out.

Climbing!!!

We finally got to go climbing in Chiang Mai at the famous Crazy Horse area. Our friends Carolyn and Charles came along with us. We were not disappointed as the area had enough easy climbs for us to play on for the day, and also had a nice quiet and friendly environment with beautiful views. It was great to get out in the wilderness again.

Kwan and Jeremiah's wedding
We met Kwan during our YWAM DTS. She is from a Lisu village in Chiang Dao (Northern Thailand) near the border of Burma. The Lisu culture is very different than thai culture, often leaving us feeling out of place as white faces who speak a little thai, but no Lisu or Burmese or Northern Thai. It was a lively atmosphere as the family and friends gathered to prepare for the ceremony and to prepare food for the HUGE wedding feast. Hope you enjoy our pictures and say a prayer for Kwan and Jeremiah as they start their lfe together, that God will guide them and bless their relationship with love and perseverance. They are both talented and hard working with a desire to worship God with their lives, but they come from poor families with little opportunity.
