I am going to keep it short tonight. Anna has come down with something and I want to get back to the room. I think she has a touch of the flu. Please don´t be too concerned....she will be fine. She needs a good night rest. Do keep her in your prayers.
We held a ceremony for 20 couples today. Eventually, they will all stand before the justice of the peace and God to be married. Anna and I stood before all of these 
couples and gave our testimony. Not something that I was expecting.
Most of the morning we were busy setting up for the weddings. We also delivered two back packs to a couple of the kids in the barrio. Roger Winkles had a back pack full of goodies for the girl that he and Livonia sponsor.
Her mother was so taken by the event that she was in tears the whole time. She was so overwhelmed by the generosity.
We also took a back pack to an little boy named Henry. He is a special little guy that Deb Courts sponsors. He was so thrilled to get the stuff that Deb sent.
His mother and father have crafted a letter to Deb that I know she will be thrilled to get when we get back. We are leaving what ever money is left over from our budget to help the family. Henry´s monther has uterine cancer and will either need to undergo treatment or have surgery.
The afternoon was focused on the couples getting married. We had gifts for them that included an Old and New Testement Bible....a plaque with the poem "It Takes Three" and a picture of the couple. They had the community center completely decorated and six different cakes. It was quite beautiful.
Our evening ended with a praise session and prayer at the end of the night. We had an awesome day.
