Many of the former missionaries remember
Albina Acte and Luis Sacba’s daughter, Patricia from Compat.
Patricia got married on Saturday, June 11, 2011.
A view of the Compat valley.
Patricia getting ready for her wedding.
Beautiful long veil
Galen helped fix the groom’s tie.
The groom, Denis Benjamin Macs Iban is from Uspantan.
They met when students at Bezaleel.
Smoke streamed from their house as the food cooked for the reception.
Steaming pots
Cooked meat for the caldo stacked high on the table.
Cooks from the kitchen took a break to sit with their children.
Galen and Luis standing below the blue house which will become Patricia’s home.
Quests started down the trail to go to the church for the wedding.
Patty leaving for the church.
Flowers decorated the front of the church for the occasion.
The somber bride and groom meet at the arch.
Luis and Albina
Tomas gave the wedding sermon.
Parents standing with the couple.
Galen led the couple in the marriage vows.
They are knotted together in the traditional way.
A snapshot of us with Patty and Denis.
The married couple leaving together.
The Compat congregation has been in the process of building a larger church.
Walking back to the house for the reception.
A tray of food being carried by family members.
Note the pile of gifts in the corner of the room.
A close up view of that meal.
Pray that Patricia and Denis would be bonded together in their marriage.
