First time for everything

On Feb. 5 we had a Ladies Tea for Pang. The first wedding shower ever here in Chiang Klang!! It was a great success. Brenda had the great idea of making the theme "Music in your heart." Many of the ladies shared special stories and encouragement on how to be a godly wife and honor God in this new role as husband and wife. A bid gap is missing in the society. When young Christians get married they rarely have Christian families to look up to or other married role models. Blake and I are excited that we have the opportunity to be such good friends with both the bride and groom. Our bride to be is the one sitting on the couch reading the wedding magazine:

We gave Pang a Hmong and Thai Bible:

We prayed over her and her husband to be, Toi:

and we ate really good food:

As I rode around the villages and picked up some of the ladies they were just jittery with excitement. Asking me all kinds of questions about this special "ladies tea" for the bride. Pray for the young Christian marriages and that they would look to God for guidance and strength.
