Hello everyone! Chris here! Brisa and I were both a part of the same campus ministry in our time at UT Austin. For four years I attended an annual summer retreat where I grew in my relationship with God and with some of my best friends--people who I call family today (Shout out to InterVarsity and Recweek!!). It was at that retreat in 2014 where Brisa and I really connected. Connecting with her included deep conversations about life, family and faith and also included playing with her hair and getting yelled at by her for it. I remember intentionally sending her a super long message on one of the nights we spoke. I wanted to encourage her and let her know that I was there for her. Little did I know post-retreat the text messaging wouldn't stop. It would evolve to 4-5 hour phone calls, song dedications, a "defining the relationship" conversation, and eventually our first official date. Almost 5 years later here we are in love and now engaged, looking toward the next season of our relationship, the one that starts with "I do." ¡Hola! Ahora me toca a mi hablar brevemente. Christian (CHRIS-TIAN) me amó sin que el me conociera. Aunque al principio no me caía bien, Dios pudo cruzar nuestros caminos y pudo formar algo tan bello. De ser primero muy buenos amigos y luego servir juntos en LaFe...ahora no puedo imaginar mi vida sin el. Quien pudo pensar que en aquel campamento cuando el jugaba con mi cabello y molestándome, fue como el empezó a cautivar mi corazón. Algún tiempo después le pregunté directamente, ¿qué es lo que estamos haciendo? El me respondió con sus tiernas palabras...y el resto es historia.
