the wedding
Yesterday was an important day. It was Ruthie's (Houser's kind mother) birthday, the first day of our DTS here, and the day when Robert and Mami got married in Aizawl. It was so beautiful. Both Mami and Robert work for the UN, especially to help prevent AIDS, and to work with those already infected. One of the things that they had at their wedding was a group of ex-drug addicts that they have helped, sing a song. It was so incredible and brought tears to my eyes. They have both touched so many lives.
We are once again, safely in Shillong after 14 hours in a Sumo today. I have so much more I want to share about the wedding and our trip. More will come in the days to follow.
