Rob and Rika's Wedding (ロブと梨香ちゃんの結婚式)

Our friends, Rob and Rika got married at this wedding chapel in Yomitan.  Pastor Tom conducted their wedding ceremony while Pastor Santo from CC West Tokyo translated the ceremony into Japanese.  It was definitely a special wedding for both Pastors.  As many of you know, Rob is also from Corona, California and has been faithfully serving the Lord with the Ruizs since they arrived in Okinawa.  And as for Rika, she is from Pastor Santo's church in Tokyo and has been attending the fellowship for a while now.  Rob and Rika actually met last summer while Rika was attending the Summer of Service in Okinawa.

CC宜野湾で一緒に仕えているロブが梨香ちゃんと読谷のホテルで結婚式を挙げました。トム牧師が司式を行い、CC西東京の山東牧師が通訳をしました。ルイスファミリーと一緒に牧会に携わってきたロブの結婚式でもあり、トム牧師にはとても特別な結婚式だったのだと思います。また、梨香ちゃんはCC西東京から去年の夏、サマー・オブ・サービス（SOS)で沖縄へ来ていたので山東牧師にとってもとても意味のある結婚式だったと思います。
