It was a wedding banquet of a Thai and a Hmoung. The bride was Hmoung and the groom was Thai. It was a beautiful wedding in the mountains neighboring Chiang Mai. (which is kind of rural, but they recently got electricity so they have those bright bulbs all around the village, its like all over the mountain seriously)
CMO has built a church in this rural village and i think its partly why we're here at the wedding haha because the bride is a member of the church. The Groom's mother is actually a fortune teller and refused to allow the couple to marry knowing she was a christinan, but eventually she agreed. We're all grateful that God has moved in the mother's heart to allow them to marry even though she does not believe. It also showed me some of the struggles that other christians face outside of my normal day to day.
My one prayer request today is that you pray this newly married couple, Jed and Leek that they have a fruitful marriage and that Jed comes to know our Lord. Pray that the Lord strengthens their bond and that the Holy Spirit dwells in their marriage.
"O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!" psalms 30:12b
