The Wedding was Great!

The bride, Nastya, and bridegroom, Sasha, were beautiful and sooooo in love! They were very tired because they only went to bed after 05h00 in the morning after decorating the church.  But they never lost their joy and peace.  It is so great to see two people in love, starting a new life together, knowing that both of them love the Lord deeply.

Hugo married them and prayed for them together with their parents as they stood in a close circle. As Sasha blessed Nastya and she  blessed him, so sincerely from her heart, many eyes were filled with tears as the presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong.

Weddings are always a great opportunity to fellowship with mutual friends whom you haven't seen for ages.  I loved seeing Pasha again - the pastor of the first church we established in Moscow.  I haven't seen him for 5 years, but it was as if it was yesterday!  He is so full of fun and he engaged everyone in it.

On the photo to the right I am standing next to Pasha with Hugo standing next to him.

Vitali(photo left), the drummer of the worship team was there with his beautiful wife Lena and their 3 children.  The oldest son is 9 and their daughter is 7 and both of them already gave their hearts to the Lord and already speak in tongues since then - 2 years ago!  What a blessed new generation rising up in Russia!

I went to the wedding with my two precious friends who are moving to Scotland in July.  It is hard to think that they will not be around when I return to Russia, although I know that it is from the Lord that they move to Scotland.  We know that they will continue to minister in Russia as the Lord leads them, as it is only 3 hours flight from Scotland to Russia.

They are so precious to me and a great example of a GODLY marriage!  They loved me and cared for me in so many ways and we had so much fun together!  I love them so much!  Here is a photograph of Ala and Jonee:
