Engagement Celebration & Market Madness

Joseph who works with Karen and drove Tuian and Joel to Hyderabad, invited us to his sister Joy,  and Vikas her boyfriend,engagement celebration on  Saturday.

I thought it woulbe just a small gathering but in a cikty of six million nothing is small. Half of the large Weslyan church was full pluss the paparatzi of photographers.

 

Part way through the three hour service of affirmation  of each of the families and Vikas and Joy gifts were given and when the  couple went to get changed. 

Hymns were sung and people got up and sang. Joseph asked us to sing so `Von Davidson Family Singers', sang ` Light of the World'.which was well recieved.

Joel played the guitar which the music leader handed to him. 

When we farwelled Prabhu's family we sang as family in  Maori, that too was appreciated as we have grown very close during the past week. Their hospitality, friendship,warmth and love has been very special.
