Andrey and I announced our engagement at church on Sunday. We had tried to keep it a secret since the proposal in December. 🙂 It was really fun telling everyone all at once!
Andrey was preaching and I was upstairs at Sunday School, so he had to come get me when it was time. When we entered the room, everyone broke out in loud applause! I didn’t expect that.
Before saying a prayer over us, the pastor exhorted the congregation to do two things: 1) To pray for us as we prepare for marriage and 2) For married couples to invite us to have fellowship and be our mentors. It looks like we are going to do a lot of visiting in the next few months!
It’s one thing when people say you make a “cute” couple or are “perfect” for each other, but when they really KNOW you and have been praying for you, it means a lot to hear them confirm that this relationship is of the Lord. We are very blessed!
