Yesterday, 3 of the four couples getting married at the church tomorrow, had to have a civil service first in order to make way for a church wedding. They did that yesterday and we took them all out to our favorite restaurant in Reynosa, La Differente'. They were all smiles as they posed for a few pictures in the restaurant. The fajitas were as always, to die for. It was well worth the money spent on them, just to see how blessed they are feeling. The dresses are all ready and they will surely be beautiful brides. God Bless Thrift Stores. The other couple were very sad that they could not get married. She is too young and even though her parents were there, the judge would not allow a 14 year old girl to get married, even though they have a child together. Go figure. In the U.S. he would have been thrown in jail. He's 20!!! She was really heart broken. They are both now Christians and wanted to make it right in God's eyes and in the church they attend. Oh well, we'll have three weddings tomorrow and we spent the morning cleaning around the church and getting things ready. The ladies were all there and some women came to do their nails for the big day.
We also have the monthly food outreach tomorrow morning and the weddings are at 5pm. Looks like a long day tomorrow. I'll get to use our new showers for the first time since we built them. Carmelo has been busy working on Mimi's new bedroom/ bathroom. She'll have her own indoor bath and shower. I think it's for the whole family, because it sure gets cold in the winter, so an indoor shower will be awesome.
