We were so happy to have Timothy spend four days with us this week. He and his wife are thinking about moving to China next year, so he came to scout out potential living/working arrangements in a city north of Kunming. He arrived just in time to attend a wedding celebration for a couple from Africa and Mongolia:
That afternoon, we took advantage of the beautiful weather to enjoy hiking on a mountain above the city:
While on the trail, we encountered a large herd of goats:
The next day, we went hiking with a group of 14 students (and a couple of Western friends):
There were some children at the top of the mountain where we stopped for snacks:
I don’t think that they’d ever seen anyone with green eyes:
They wondered why Timothy’s eyes were brown and suspected that he colored them:
On the way back down, we met a boy with a bag of beetles…
which reminded us of another boy who used to collect beetles (yes, this was Timothy when he was a bit smaller):
During his visit, Timothy was able to reconnect with some old friends, including this one who had returned from Beijing for the National Holiday:
It was nice to have Timothy here, but hard to see him go!

I love the pic of the little girls looking at Tim! So sweet. I wish I could’ve been there to see the cuteness in person.
How neat to have Tim with you for four days! I hope he had success locating work and a place to live.
Oh what great pictures! So wonderful to have Timothy there with you, I’m sure. Hope he did get some more info on what he needs to know there. “Remembering” all of you.
Look how tall timothy looks in the picture with the group of students! What a sweet picture of tim as a youngster…got me a little teary 🙂
