2025 Trip to Guilin





This is my 67th year of my life. 

I remember saying when I turned 60 that the coming 10 years will be the best 10 years of my life! 

And now I have already lived 7 of the 10 years. 

In 2024 Chin Nee and I celebrated our Anniversary in Hoi Ann and Danang. It was a very good trip. We also led a youth who was working in one of the shops to the Lord. 

This year despite having to take care of Mum (Chin Nee's 92 year old mother) who need to do dialysis 3 times a week, I felt led to plan a special holiday to celebrate our 38th Wedding Anniversary in Guilin and Yangshuo.

GUILIN 2025

We are very encouraged by God's goodness towards us in this trip.

I'm encouraged that I was inspired by the Lord to book for Guilin

First the air tickets

Then the hotels 

Then Chin Nee's input for Yitian, not have Li River Cruise.

Weather - forecasts was rain during the 5 days we will be there. However I believe the Lord will favour us. 

Indeed He went before us. Weather changed for good. We had beautiful weather all our days there with around 24 C high every day. On the day leaving for airport it drizzled. 

We enjoyed our holiday very much. 

Our driver Lu Wen Ke served us very well. And I shared the Gospel with him using Wordless book over lunch on the second day. On the way to our hotel in Guilin I was given utterance to ask him to ask Jesus into his life. And he responded so positively. After he accepted the Lord there was an evident joy in his face. He hugged me and Chin Nee in his joy.

Thank God I can continue to share God's word with him via WeChat even back in KL. 

Mum was okay when we were away. Despite having to be admitted to hospital on Saturday before we were leaving on Tuesday. 

Lord, I'm so encouraged that we are Your beloved and blessed children as You pour out Your goodness on us.
