The long awaited day dawned
with a steel blue sky as preparations for Bruce and Judy's wedding hit
top speed. Our team was treated to a breakfast at the Vicarage prepared
by Jim and Sue Duffield. We spent the rest of the morning helping where
we could and staying out of the way where we couldn't. |

The wedding ceremony started
pretty close to on time (1:00 PM) when the crucifer made his way down the
aisle to the beat of the drums at 1:40 PM. The bride was radiant and sun
was bright. It was fun to see the blend of cultures but the blend was most
evident when we arrived at the blessing. After Rev. Sue gave her blessing
the bride's uncle gave a traditional native American blessing using the
mighty eagle's feather to symbolize the soaring of the eagle. |

The reception started immediately
following the ceremony and what seemed like mountains of food were soon
disappearing. |

After the cutting of the cake,
it was time for our goodbyes. Tearful as they were we will remember this
day and the days preceding it as they have shaped this trip. |

Tomorrow it's an early departure
from the Best Western in Roosevelt, UT and on to Salt Lake City and a return
trip home. The week has been a delight and we've been blessed in so many
ways. We thank each and every one of you for your prayers and support not
just during these last 8 days, but over the months leading up to this trip. |
