Our youngest daughter, Kelsey, was married this summer in both a civil ceremony and later in a christian wedding.  The civil (official) wedding must be done first before the christian wedding is allowed.  That is the way they do things in Peru.   Ricky had asked her in February to marry him and she happily said yes.  In May, Ricky asked Robert and I for our blessing.  We very much liked Ricky and saw that they were crazy in love with each other.  They both wished to serve the Lord in missions and it seemed to us to be God's will in their lives. On August 10th Kelsey and Ricky were married in a civil ceremony at Ricky's sister, Monica's, home with about 35 friends and family attending.   During the next month they finalized their plans for their Christian wedding which was held September 1st at the beach near the orphanage ministry site connected to Ricky's ministry, ChildReach Ministries.  Many family and friends attended the wedding where we were blessed with our third son-in-law.  We are happy to welcome him into our family.  Ricky and Kelsey are in the process of building an apartment for their first home and hope to move in soon.  It is strange to have all our kids gone with their own families.  We had a total of 12 empty nest days then a young woman, Barbara, moved in with us.  She is the fiance of a friend of ours who is ministering in the Peruvian jungle.  They will be married in April of next year.  She is staying with us to learn English and americano customs before she leaves with her husband to the states next June.  On September 19th we also had 2 young people, Jason & Rubie, join our ministry for 9 months in AIM's First Year Missionary discipling program.  Robert said, "We have more kids now than when we came here."  We  are very pleased with the quality young people the Lord has brought into our lives.  I've added more pictures of both wedding ceremonies in "My Photos" if you care to enjoy them with me.
