TAMARA AND ANTONIO WED IN OUR HOUSE

Tamara started attending some of meetings at the chapel about a year ago.  She spends a lot of time talking to Marion.  Her life has been traumatic, with lots of people problems.  She received the Lord as her Savior but  Antonio has not.  He has been to some of the meetings and is coming to our house with Tamara for counseling.  Their relationship has been difficult.  They have been together for a number of years and have two children.


Tamara and Antonio were married with a civil ceremony in our house last night.  Their relationship with her family is not good.  Her mother refused to come to the wedding.  Marion and I ended up as the organizers of the wedding reception.

The bride was an hour late, but the bride's maid and the best man forgot about the wedding so they were two hours late.  They were witnesses who had to sign all the legal papers along with the bride and groom.  The civil register who did the ceremony has done a number of them in our house.  He sat here for two hours waiting for things to get under way.  He is used to the Bolivian concept of time.


Several of the ladies from the Chapel came to help prepare the food.  A delicious meal was served to 50 people.  The young people from the Chapel pitched in to help set up things before the wedding and served the food.  Everyone helped with the clean up afterwards.  

Great food!

Pray for Tamara and Antonio, things are not going to be easy for them.
