Mario's Wedding

Tonight, Mario Estrada and Aura Morales (Aury) were married in the audittorium of the Utatlan School.  Mario has been with En El Corazan dd Jesus almost since it began.  He now works as second in command and does an excellent job.  It is a pleasure to see him find happiness.  Mario and I have always been very close.  Aura is a teacher at the public school.  The wedding is very similar to one in our country. One of the differences is there were two ceremonies one was legal and the second was the church wedding. The law requires the legal first and that is the picture where they are sitting down.  We had rice, but instead of throwing while they leave, they stood under a type of pinata and when it was opened, a lot of rice fell on them.  The ceremonies were short and the preacher preached which was also short.  We had meal and cake.  About 2-300 people attended and you can see by the picture they got a lot of gifts.  Another difference we all stood in a line to give them their gifts. May God bless this union.

I will post a few pictures also.

Supper at the Center

Wednesday night, the medical team led by Jessica Edquist generously offered to prepare and share supper with the men at the center.  Thanks to a local protest at the Hospital grounds where I live and the team is staying, the ladies could not go to the market in time to purchase and prepare the food. Our new Domino's Pizza in Quiche saved the day. 

We had a great evening and one of the men was able to share with us how the Lord has touched his life and brought him into a renewed relationship with his children.  Thanks to this group for coming to visit us sharing their food and love with us.
