On Tuesday, Sept. 8, it was Jill's and my privilege to attend the wedding ceremony of Luís Gonzalo and Ivania. They were married at the Civil Registry office in Santa Ana a little after 3:00, and then everyone was invited for a meal and some time together in the home of Ivania's parents in Ayacucho. It was a lovely afternoon. The ceremony was simple, and our time at Iván and Patricia's was very special. The newly married couple wanted to sing a few hymns, and they asked Jill and me to share a few thoughts. They are now living in Quito, so we miss them here. However, we wish them the very best in their new life together. They are a very special couple to us!

Sorry about the finger in the corner. This is the best one we have.
