Tuesday we held the “Matrimonio Massivo” and everything went extremely well. The Missionaries were responsible for getting ten couples married and Elder Salvatierra and I had two couples. The Iquitos Stake was in charge of the program and they started out the evening with a bit of a fireside. A family sang a musical number about the family being together forever. After the fireside the Mayor of Iquitos, Mayans took the stage and performed the ceremony. One by one the couples came up to the table and signed and fingerprinted their papers. We took tons of pics of both the Marin Gonzalez Family and the Cubas Rios Family signing their papers. After all the papers were signed and they washed off their fingers then the party started JUNGLE STYLE. It was crazy!!! They brought in a band which played authentic jungle loves songs and everyone was dancing and singing. It was really something. It’s been a while since I have had my dancing shoes on but I resisted and only got my foot tapping at times. After this party my ward threw another party the same night for the two families. We weren’t able to attend the second reception but the bishop took alot of pictures. But all and all it was a great experience and seeing the joy on the faces of both families made all the stress and work worth it.
