“Are you a Seventh Day Adventist?” asked Capt. Rudolf Simatupang, a Pilot with whom Elvira flew when she still worked as an international flight attendant for Garuda Indonesia. While everyone was enjoying their food, Elvira did not eat meat, seafood and other non-halal food (because of religious reason), and it made Capt. Rudolf wonder. He then said to Elvira that his very good friend was also a Seventh Day Adventist, and asked her whether she did not mind if Capt. Rudolf introduced her to his friend, Pirson. Elvira said okay; One Sabbath evening in 2010, Elvira received Pirson’s first text saying Happy Sabbath, and the next few months they met then became friends; nothing special.
In 2014, Elvira prayed for a life partner that could join hands with her to serve God and people. At the same time, Pirson also prayed to God for a wife, then God answered prayers by letting them recognize the existence of each other.
After getting Elvira’s parents’ blessing (on the phone) to approach her, in July 2014, Pirson made his first visit to Manado to see Elvira’s family. Since then, they both have started to know each other better.
Pirson and Elvira were convinced to start praying for a more serious relationship, and they finally got engaged on 5 March, 2017 in Manado.
They are beyond happy to announce that after seeking for God’s directions, they are now ready to receive God’s calling to enter the marriage relation, as a husband and wife on Sunday, 22 October 2017 in Manado.
