Readers,
Ezron Kapolo, minister of finance for the Western Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Namibia (ELCIN), was married on Saturday. Several formal receptions lasting two days followed the wedding. That means they should be finishing up celebrating around now.
In 2010 when I accompanied Bishop Robert D. Hofstad on a visit to ELCIN, our companion synod, Kapolo told me that he had wanted to marry this beautiful young woman for a long time. Only now it has it come true for him. I'm not exactly sure why he had to wait so many years, but I'm guessing it was so that he could get enough money together to support a wife and family.
Kapolo and I communicate regularly, and I received a wedding invitation. I couldn't really justify going half way around the world for a wedding, although I certainly wanted to. I made him promise to send me more photos, and I'll post them here when I get them, so we can all see what a wedding in Namibia looks like.
Rachel Pritchett, communicator
