Our Day in the Spotlight

My brother, Mark and my parents, Ron and Sherry, arrived a few days before the wedding. Fortunately they were able to stay at the house of Ed and Luane, who have been friends of the family for many years and are now missionaries in the same town as Vernie. Coincidence? I think not. We thank God for them; they are a great blessing to us in so many ways.

The Makiputin family invited us over to their house a couple of nights before the wedding. Luane is translating for the parents.
The Makiputin's prepared a wonderful feast for us and welcomed us into the family with a song. It was very touching. I love my new family.

At the church.

On the ends are Ed and Luane who were Principal Sponsors at our wedding. They are our Ninong and Ninang now, which means godparents.
