Village baptism and wedding

Life here has been awesome! Every day has its adventures; every one of them and special in their own way. Last week we had a baptism service in the mountains with a team from Michigan. It was a beautiful service and so awesome to watch the villagers make a stand for their faith.
“Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also, raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God who raised him form the dead.” Colossians 2:12  
After the baptism we went to a wedding. In the mountains people don't get married, and if they do it's normally after living with one another for a few years and after having a couple of kids. The couple that got married last week was the first in all the history of Pinalito to be married before having relations with one another. They were an amazing testimony to everyone in the village. The church was packed out to the point that there was no more room in the church for people to sit or stand. They had a sermon on marriage and its importance before God. Then the happy couple was marred.
