Day 5

Today I had to dress  up elegantly. I will experience what it is like to see a Hutterite wedding. The bride is named Mary and the Groom is Ronald. Mary is one of the older sisters of Jake. It was a pleasure to meet Ronald and Mary. We walked into the church and it was filled with white flowers and adorned with decorations. I learned that you can marry any time when you reach adulthood. But you have to be faithful to God before you can get married. When Mary and Ronald exchanged vows, they were officially married. The Hutterites do not believe in divorce. Therefore, you have to  be respectful to your spouse and cannot commit adultery. After the marriage we had a party where there were many visitors from other colonies. There was Hutterite music playing and people were drinking and just having fun. There is a feast with many different types of food. There is lots of meat and pastries. The children played around and I got to meet new people and new cultures. I think that I am now adjusting to this Hutterite community. Tomorrow I will get to stay at the house and just see how life is in the Hutterite household. It was a very fun filled day. I have adjusted to many things especially the cold, arctic wheather.
