Indonesian Wedding

Yesterday I was able to go to an Indonesian Wedding. First it was in a church and then to a house in the village where the reception was. At the reception they had really good food, but I saw the kitchen and I realized they cooked everything on the floor with a campfire. There was icecream, and sate (indonesian beef on a stick). When I had to go to the bathroom that was scary because their bathroom was basiclly a hole in the ground called a squatty-potty, with no toilet paper. I guess this is what most indonesian bathrooms are like. The flower girls were pretty and they didnt throw flowers but glitter and candy. I liked that part a lot, espically the candy. Today after lunch we are going camping, the missionary dads here and their kids, like my friend ely and Joshuas friend Parade are going. It will be so fun, we are even going to have a campfire. They dont have marshmallows here so no smores. I will write about that in a couple days. Thanks for reading!
