I spent some time with Mose and Elena this week doing some basic Bible counseling before their wedding takes place on Dec 28. They are both very excited about the event. As I ran through the checklist with the couple we were able to mark everything done except one item. The groom has not gotten written permission from the father of the bride to marry her. I told Mose on Tuesday that without the permission slip, there would be no wedding. He explained to me that the father has a business to attend to which is out of the country. He will be home for one day only- Wednesday. I reluctantly made plans to drive with Mose 2 hours away to get the permission slip.
When I showed up on Wednesday morning, there was a crowd of 5 people surrounding Mose as he laid on the ground. In the middle of the night he became very sick. So, instead of traveling to see the father we went to the hospital. They admitted him and gave him a glucose I.V. I am sure he will be alright but we will be praying for him.
After he was admitted I left the hospital (and I use the word hospital very loosely) and went to the seamstress to pay the remaining balance on the brides dress, jewelry and shoes. We made plans to visit the father of the bride on Monday. Hopefully things will go as planned. Pray for us as we travel, we will be driving through an elephant and giraffe preserve and the last time I was there the roads were very poor.
