Special day for special people Through out my years as a missionary in Haiti I have become good friends with many of the young high school and college students who come work with GAP Ministry. Some of these young people actually have been on their mission trips with people they end up marrying later on after college. So my wife and I receive several wedding invitations every year, some close by others out of state. This summer we have gotten three wedding announcements and will be able to attend two of them. We would have gone to all of them except I will be in Haiti during August and miss one that will be out in up state New York.
Last evening we were able to attend the wedding of Wendy Weimer and Stephan Dingeldein. I first met Wendy when she came on a mission trip to Haiti in 2003. I think what cemented our relationship was on a hiking trip into the mountains we were knocked off the narrow trail by a donkey carrying a wide load of sticks and wood. On one side of the trail was an irrigation canal on the other where we were walking was a very steep mountain slope. The thing that saved us from sliding off the mountainside was we grabbed hold of each other and between the two of us kept our footing. Wendy and I have been together on three more trips since then two in Haiti and one in the Dominican Republic.
In April of 2008 she brought along her boyfriend from Indiana Wesleyan University, Stephen Dingeldein. Later that year they became engaged and set a date to get married after graduation in 2009. After returning from their honeymoon to the Bahamas they will be living in Cary, North Carolina where they have both found employment. These fine young people are representative of the many we see who make missions a priority in their lives and marriage, we wish them the best. In God's love , steve
