Weddings!!

This past week I had the joy of celebrating the marriage of 4 couples from El Callejon. I won't get into all the details again about how and why we are doing this, but read this post from 2009 if you're interested.

Sila and her husband (both in white).  They actually got married last December, but for several reasons we were unable to have the reception last year.  And unfortunately, they weren't able to make it to the reception this year either because of an unexpected emergency.  But the important thing is they are now happily married!

Tona and Censio.  They have been together for 20ish years and have 4 children.  They finally took the plunge :)

Many of these men and women have been hurt by past (or even their current) relationships.  Our prayer is that these 4 couples would learn to live out what a Christian marriage should look like. That they would love and respect each other as a man and woman are called to.  And also that they would be an example to the other couples in the community.
