The beautiful Lake by the State Park where we stayed and the wedding was

The big Mobile Home we rode down in. Mr. Campbell borrowed it from the Newsboys. It is kinda their spare or something. It was a most comfortable ride!

The Weekend before Easter, I went with the Campbells to Family Week in Kentucky put on by the Wallers, missionaries to Israel. The Campbells were going to stay for the entire week, but I only stayed for the weekend, and then came back to work in the office. That weekend was Brayden and Talitha's wedding. Brayden is the Waller's oldest son. It was quite an amazing wedding. It happened on Saturday evening. Noone really knew exactly when it was going to take place. An hour before it was to start, the Waller boys went through the camp blowing the Shofar, signifying that everyone had an hour to get ready. Then we all met at the Playground and sang worship songs, Talitha, and her parents and bridesmaids got there, and everyone was waiting for the bridegroom to arrive. This was to show how the church waits for the Jesus the Bridegroom to come. The whole wedding was rich in symbolism of Yeshua/Jesus and His Bride the Church. Finally the boys came, and Brayden was riding on a white horse. It was so awesome. Everyone started going towards him, and him and Talitha were so happy to see each other. After their betrothal,etc. they hadn't seen each other in 3 months, because he had gone to prepare a place for her. They kissed, and then they led the procession and we all walked about a mile to a place by the lake where the wedding was held. It was a long, chilly, but quite a nice wedding, and then they had several Godly couples pray for them. The bridesmaids did a Jewish sort of dance to a song Talitha had wrote for Brayden too. It was very beautiful. When the wedding was ending there was music, and Brayden and Talitha started Jumping/dancing around. It was cool. Then there was music, and lots of people, including me and I think Rashida and Mercy joined in the dance, except it was more of a walk with a few jump sorta things. The people were just all in a long big circle holding hands and just kinda dancing along. It was really fun and joyful. Then we went to the reception,also mostly outdoors. It was nice too. There were lots of young people doing Jewish dancing afterward too. It was interesting. The next day, Rashida, Mercy, Sahara, and I went down to the lake. It was so beautiful, and a pretty day. We had fun! I rode back to Primm Springs with the Carpenters. I didn't end up getting home until really late though on Sunday night, because the Carpenters had to go to a church meeting and then a birthday party, that lasted a really long time at some friends of theirs from church. They had good Mexican food though, and the lady of the house was really sweet. It was interesting meeting and talking with some of the girls. It was a very interesting weekend!
