Two Weddings in Assumane
Today marked the first wedding in the church of Assumane ever. There were actually two weddings. Jesse officiated the marriage of Joaquim and Lucia. I had the honor of officiating the marriage of Condeila and Anita. We have been able to see these beautiful believers blossom into men and women of God. It was the first time I have ever attempted to marry a couple in a language other than English, which was challenging. But despite my imperfect Portuguese, the ceremony was beautiful. Our little grass church building in Assumane was packed with friends, family and church members.

After the ceremony, both couples rode off on 50cc motorbikes that were decorated. We followed them back to our house with friends and family in tow to have the reception, where there was more dancing, celebration and food. We all had a wonderful time together.
