My name is Kaison, i am a missionary in NST, a province in the south of Thailand. I have been here for a while, you can read about my time here before fang on this page. I met Fang, whos full name is Krittiyaporn Pratheephan, *but pronounced Kritiyapon Pruteepan, she goes by Fang, or Kritti Fang. The story starts at my freinds wedding reception. I was asked by several elders of the church when i was getting married. Still single, and not really trying, i asked them to pray for me. The next day, sunday, a christian lady who i knew from a tutorial school in nakhon visited our church, she brought a young lady who i had met once before. I somehow knew that she was the one, i walked back to the bathroom, jumped up and down, thanking God for answering my prayer. The next week she came back, i didnt really talk with her, so i was supprised she came back alone, and so i sat with her. I then followed up and started chatting with her on facebook. She started to attend an interested peoples group which was actually my idea, and the elders instigated a couple weeks before. She kept coming, and 3 months later she told me she believed, and was ready to say the sinners prayer. I told her that we are not saved by silly traditions of man, if she believes, God has already done a work in her. She produced fruit in keeping with her repentance, and we started to grow closer. God called her to stop working with her mother, and open a bakery, and i supported her in this. She helped me translate the NCC and at the same time she read through the entire new testiment. 3 years after meeting her, i took her to New Zealand and married her. We have been happily married ever sinse. Read about the wedding below....

The Wedding (story coming soon)
When I first started flirting with Fang, I spent weeks painting a picture of us for her birthday. I painted a picture of us in New Zealand, together in a boat in a a valley in Lewis Pass. So when it came time to choose a place to get married, we tried for america, but Fangs visa was rejected twice, so we chose New Zealand as a way for us to have a honeymoon, and get to see my family again. My parents paid for the whole trip as I was unable to cover it. We hiked up Tops peak in Lewis pass, and got married. Pastor Alistair took us up, he himself is an avid backpacker, and loved the idea of getting married on the mountain. Nickie Smith, a missionary who was one of my leaders at YWAM when i studied in NZ 10 years earlier had recomended him for us. He Counceled us before with wedding, and his advice was so good, i owe him a lot. We then traveled through New Zealand with my family. It was an amazing trip, so i promiced my wife i would take her back and we would sit on that boat for our 10th aniversary. I am excited to make a few missionary kids, but my wife wants to wait til we have some more savings, so we will probably do that next year. Make sure to look at the photos below.
