Wedding
Jonathan and I have been invited to the wedding of one of the workers at Riverside campsite. He is one of the drivers who take us to town when we need to go. He and Jonathan have become friends. Jonathan asked him recently if he had a wife and he said ‘no’ but that he was getting married in two weeks! We congratulated him and then he asked if we wanted to come. We didn’t really answer and then he said he’s really LIKE for us to come. How wonderful! We’re really excited about this step in building a relationship as well as the opportunity to experience the culture in such a way.
When you go to a wedding you have to bring a gift, right? So we asked a different man at the campsite what a good gift would be and he listed a few things. He said that a goat is a really good gift because it can feed many people. So that’s what we decided to give him. The only thing was finding out where to buy a goat. It’s really not as hard as you’d think. So we’re working out getting the goat right now. I really hope it works out and we do indeed get to go to the wedding.
I just keep picturing Jonathan and I arriving at a wedding with a goat…on a leash I guess. That’s just a funny picture to me. And I told him that it’s possible they serve that goat at the wedding so we’d end up having to eat it. In fact we’ll be eating whatever they have there. This is very scary to me but exciting too. Jesus told the disciples to eat whatever was set before them when they went out and that’s what I intend to do. And I’m really excited about being there for our new friend.
