Yesterday was an interesting day. I was one of 12 witnesses in a wedding! The wedding was held in Pastor Dave's office, because the groom is from Nigeria and he needs to renew his visa. He has to go back to Nigeria to do this, so first he and his bride (a Filipina) wanted to get married. They'll have a regular ceremony when they get back. I was surprised to see how much it was like an American wedding. All of the vows and other ceremonial things were exactly the same. We ate spaghetti (they attempt to make it "italian" but it is not Italian at all. I think it's made with ketchup and hot dogs, and there's no italian spices-it's good though!), fried chicken, and cake. I felt kind of strange watching the wedding, because I don't know either the bride or the groom. But I enjoyed it and was glad that I could participate. After that, I watched the boys play some basketball. I brought my camera with me and gave it to Ate Wen's son (who is eleven, though he looks younger). He and the other boys had a ball taking pictures. I laughed so hard! I can't wait to put them on Facebook. Did you see the pics I put up last night? I discovered that my laptop had about 45 minutes of juice left, so I was able to upload my pics. Well, after I left the boys, I went to a Bible study. It was good to see some familiar faces, because I went to Bible study last wee. I met some high school girls, who are very giggly and funny. The Bible study was about an hour, then we hung out (they brought the food out again, but I didn't eat any. They were surprised that I didn't want cake for a second time!). I did drink some Coke, so that was good. Well, today I am going to a high school youth retreat. I think it's held at a former US Navy base. We have to travel a couple of hours to get there so I'm leaving in just a few minutes.
