Ruokuo and Beilie

Ruokuo and Beilie are getting married this summer! 

Ruokuo is beautiful. In many ways. Visually stunning, exotic dark eyes and thick black hair. But she possesses one of the most quiet, humble and honest spirits I have ever known. She is sweet, unassuming and soft-spoken, yet so strong, straightforward and never colours the truth with fancy words or conceals it with self-inflation. She is the Grade 4 teacher in Life International School. She might not be the most well-trained or most-experienced teacher but she is, in my opinion, the most compassionate and Christ-centered in her teaching.

Beilie is passionate. He's an all-rounder. Assistant Pastor for our English church service, Theology professor in Life University, leader of university Christian fellowship, guitarist and singer extraordinaire and pretty good baller too. He has the same honesty that Ruokou has, with a little bit of awkward, dry humour like Valera, my favorite Kazakh friend. Like I mentioned, Beilie is passionate. Passionate about God. Passionate about people. Passionate about music. 

Together, Beilie and Ruokuo are one of the most kind and caring couples around. After many years, they are going to get married this summer in Nagaland.  It warms my heart. They're very sweet together. But unfortunately, plane ticket prices have gone up. And they might have trouble getting home this summer to tie the knot. These are some of the lives I've come across in Cambodia. People who are filled with such love and compassion for people and who are loved abundantly by God. These are real people who teach me real lessons on how to be real and honest before people and before God. 

p.s. And if you'd like to bless Ruokuo and Beilie in any way (hehehe), do let me know.
