Sisterly Duties

Lately I have been getting a lot of comments about some sisterly duties that I didn't know I was missing out on.  A number of our Indian friends have asked when I will be arranging the marriage of my sister.  A few have graciously offered ideas on how to arrange a meeting of potential grooms.  We were given a newspaper that we can advertise what qualities we are looking for in a future husband for her.  We have been given tips on how to interview the groom and his family.  Good questions to ask, qualities to look for and sincere pleas to check with his friends to see how deep his faith truly runs.  In case he says he is a Christian when he really isn't. Or says he has a job when he doesn't. Or secretly has another wife in another village.  You know, the usual stuff.
I have to say, I have gotten the questions enough times now that I have decided to run an "ad" on my blog.  That way when they ask I can honestly say that I am making inquiries.
PS. It might be better if you didn't mention this to Elizabeth.
Here are her stats:
loves Jesus
5'2"
Cute
Also is often gorgeous
Loves hiking
Loves being outdoors
Full of Adventure
Loves playing games
Loves Reading
Speaks some Arabic, learning Hindi
Age: 31
Great family (totally not biased on that one)

Here are important qualities we are looking for in a potential husband for her
Loves Jesus
Likes hiking, camping, and the general outdoors
Responsible with money
Enjoys playing games
Willing to try new things
Likes (or is willing to try to like) India

  1. Don't forget the following :
    He MUST love coffee
    He must NOT be a morning person he must like to "ease into the day"
    Hiking is an absolute pre requisite
    He MUST be spontaneous
