We attended our first wedding since we've been married! Zach was asked to be the "Reception Chairman," a position which was discovered along the way. He opened the reception with a Hausa greeting and welcome, was stated an "international observer" for the cutting of the cake, and asked to open the gift giving portion of the event. We danced with the traditional dancers, sat in honored seats under the shade, and participated when asked to dance with the bride and groom. What fun to build memories and experienced together! Prayerfully we will have many such opportunities to share in the joy of others in our new life together.
