Elva's Getting Married!

Tomorrow I'm headed to Peru! I'll do lots with the ladies of Peru Paper, but my primary reason for going is the wedding of one of my best friends, Elva!!! Elva and I have been friends since I first lived in Trujillo in 2004, and she is one of the dearest and truest friends anyone could ask for. She is a living picture of the gospel to me- showing me forgiveness and grace while pointing me to Jesus. She knows me well and still loves me. She is a jewel and her husband-to-be, Lenin (another good friend of mine), will be blessed beyond measure to have her as his wife. I am so excited and could not be happier for the two of them. I cannot wait to see Elva again and celebrate with her this week!

At Elva's birthday this past February, my last visit to Peru.

Ringing in the New Year: 2008. The Batemans celebrated with Elva and her family.
