Three Weddings! Written Dec 20, 1999 Three weddings in two days! And for none of them did we have more than an hour’s notice. The first was a double wedding. Those who have been to Honduras will probably remember Reinerio (he drives the tractor and the “deuce”), and his brother Esteben. They both have been living with young women, as is the custom here. Reinerio had a child with his “wife” as well, which he named Allen, after one of the missionaries. Esteben claims to know Christ, and recently rededicated himself to follow Jesus.

When I looked up “journaling” in Google, I found: Journaling is the practice of writing down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a designated space, like a notebook or digital platform.
