Just some stuff from past week(s). Hmm...okay, begin with this:
Last weekend the choir sang a song during communion. We sang Agnus Dei, it was sooo good! Though, we had trouble hearing the parts, we being the sopranoes. Then everyone the basses said they couldn't hear us! Probably cause we were on the opposite side of the stage...
Also last week, there was youth competitions. Mom & dad were the judges, so of course us kids went too. There was solo singing, group singing, dancing, and a Bible quiz. The Bible quiz was really funny cause there were only 3 people: all the Campton kids! So it was sibling rivalry for a good reason. Haha.

Then Thursday, we went to the Camptons' house for dinner. It was really fun! The Campton kids (they're not really kids...but anyway) are all so talented! They could play piano, guitar, drums, harmonica (all three of them!!!)...and dunno what else. But I know there are a few more. So cool right????????

Then today went to a marriage prayer celebration? I dunno what it's actually called, but it was pretty cool. There was introduction to family, preaching, and then prayer. In the end they did this cool thing: They cracked some kind of thing on the bride-to-be's head, then also on the groom-to-be's head. Turned out to be a sweet, it tasted like cotton candy! They had a big bag of it and gave one to everyone. You'll never guess what happened next!!! Instead of flower wreaths, they put wreaths of money on them! Mom said, "How interesting...." Me, "Well, at least they're not nearly as heavy as the flower ones!" They're seriously heavy! And at the last wedding, they put 3 on the bride and groom!!! ouch.
Dinner was after the ceremony, and we sat on the roof. We as in: Mom, dad, Aunty Radha, me, Zoe, Reagan, Renita & Ricky. I became a living dolls' head for Renita, she kept taking down and doing up my hair. It was okay, though she kept poking my eyes whenever she grabbed my hair that kept falling forward.

Tomorrow we're going to the actual wedding. Yea....back to the beginning I guess.
