The whole cycle of life in 2 months. First was the celebration of baptism for my friend Zofia's baby girl Diana. Zofia lives in Sydney, Australia so it was also a chance to catch up with her as she visited Wellington. The baby was very cute and it was interesting to see a baptism as many of my friends are not Christians at the moment and therefore don't take this step for their children.
The wedding took place several days ago in the Wairarapa (a rural area about an hour north of Wellington). Friends and family celebrated over two days the marriage of Tim and Katie. It was an extremely entertaining wedding as many of Tim's friends are musically inclined. Performances ranged from opera to jazz and even a very funny rendition of the Muppet's classic 'Manamana (Do do do do do)'.
The BBQ the next day was a chance to relax in the sun and play a little croquet in Tim and Katie's huge garden.
Lastly a very sad event in the death and funeral of my friend Glenn (age 33). He had been battling brain tumors for the last 2 - 3 years and died peacefully (although fairly suddenly) on Tuesday 23rd January. His funeral was attended by many young people as he was involved in the Catholic youth ministry 'Lifeteen' for years.
The funeral was both a mourning time and a celebration as we know Glenn must now be with God.
