Svadba

i don't have much time to make a journal entry today (to make a long story short i really dislike computers sometimes) so, i'll just share a quick experience that elder macneish and i had this last weekend. we were out contacting on the square when we saw a great crowd of people coming out of the catholic chapel. there are weddings there fairly commonly on saturdays, so i've seen a lot of wedding processions on my mission so far, but this one was my favorite. the slovak tradition is that you get married in the church and then you walk (with all your guests behind you) into the town hall where everybody celebrates as you sign the marriage contracts. this procession to the town hall, however, was led by a slovak folk string quartet all dressed in slovak garb with tradtional slovak dancers parading around them to boot. it's a shame i didn't have my camera because it was quite the sight. this country has so many beautiful traditions. it's a pleasure to be able to serve these people.
