Caroling in Lisu Villages

Although it was dark and it was difficult to get a good video, here is a sample of the nearly twenty hours of caroling that we did over two nights. The banging in the background is fire crackers being set off by the kids. This was a great experience and a chance to be invited into the homes of some of the Lisu tribe members. Most of the villages are located up in the hills or mountains which made for some interesting walking between homes at four o'clock in the morning (at least the Mormons come during the day time). Both nights were quite cool and the second night we dressed more appropriately for riding in the back of a pickup truck in the cool nighttime hours. We will definitely remember the exhausting nature of this experience, but, as with most things that are difficult, we will also remember the beauty of these villages being lit by the clear night sky and the joy of those who we spent the night with.
