Everton & Diana's Wedding



We are about a month behind in postings, so let's try to get caught up now! (That's what I'm telling myself here...) Everton is a young man who graduated from the chacara program in June. You read about him in earlier posts when the Aggies for Christ helped fixed up his new house when they were visiting in July. In September, Everton and his wife Diana officialized their marriage at the courthouse and before their Christian family, on a fine winter's Sunday at the Blumes' house. The Blumes and our sister Leni did a great job of planning this ceremony and celebration.



Everton's grandparents and aunts were present for the ceremony. He has overcome a lot of obstacles in terms of family; both his parents died when he was young and he was raised by a foster family that eventually rejected him. The church has truly become his family.


Diana's grandmother, sister, and brother were also present on the occasion.


Everton and Diana have five children! Going clockwise: Ismael (in Diana's arms), Leonardo (the oldest), Bruno, Diego, and Cassia (the newest arrival in Everton's arms!)


We praise God for this special family and ask you to pray for their strength and courage as they overcome life's daily obstacles. May the Lord continue to give their victory through faith, hope, and above all else, love!
