Daniel and Priscila´s Wedding
Daniel and Priscila´s wedding was a wonderful occasion. No one involved had ever been to a fully bi-lingual wedding before, and there was something almost symbolic about the coming together of the two languages, with the repetition of everything. Alana did a great job translating, and for Andrew hearing his portuguese coming back as (Southern States) English was not too off-putting in the preaching. Daniel and Pri had used Ecclesiastes 3:1 on their invitation, and the sermon was from the whole passage, 1-14. The "Times" poem fits beautifuly into the classic wedding vows (or rather the vows are an expression of the passage!). The message that it is God who rules the times, and God who has put eternity in our hearts, and God whose Word we need to hear to live in both Time and Eternity, is a powerful one, especially with a good number of Kardecist spiritists in the congregation.
Daniel and Priscila are going to live in the US - he is from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. We will miss them.
