After almost a year of our K1 Fiancé Visa process, Kike has been approved and will be traveling to the United States at the end of April 2021! We are so grateful that our "I do" day is finally arriving and we will be reunited in person! We will be having an intimate wedding celebration on May 15th, 2021 and cannot wait to celebrate with our family and friends in the U.S. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support in this journey- you are all so appreciated!

As many of you know, Kike and I were to be married on July 10th, 2020 and I was scheduled to move to Paraguay in late May. However, due to COVID-19, Paraguay has been very strict in maintaining the borders closed. As a result, it is unsure as to when tourists would be allowed to enter the country (probably being several more months into the end of the calendar year). After our wedding and travel plans were cancelled, we are excited to share with y'all our preparations for new plans! Kike and I have applied for the K1 Fiancé Visa and will be getting married and starting our lives here in the United States! The visa process could take anywhere from 5-10 months so we have not yet set a new wedding date for our small ceremony. After dating for almost four years of long distance, we are praying that the process is speedy and he will be able to be here by fall/winter! We would so appreciate your thoughts and prayers that everything would go smoothly...thank you all so much for your love and support!

In June of 2014, Kike and I met and were completely unaware in that moment that God would lead us on this crazy journey of friendship, dating, being engaged and getting married! In talking and getting to know each other, we became best friends and started dating in 2016. Since that year, we have been doing "long-distance" by only spending three months a year together and so taking advantage of technology like video calls and WhatsApp! Throughout the years, God has been SO faithful and has not only sustained our relationship, but pushed us to grow in unimaginable ways and continues to increase our love for each other and Him without ceasing. Since we started dating, we knew that God was calling us to more and that the long distance relationship would not last forever as He was perfectly orchestrating in His beautiful time for us to commit to spending our lives together! On June 29th, 2019, after spending a couple weeks with family and officially having the "talk" with them, we got engaged in a sweet Italian place where we went on our first date! It was such a joy to spend that time with family and close friends and celebrate such an exciting time. In working in ministry together, we have been able to serve the Lord together and are continuing to pray for discernment to make future decisions regarding our ministry and service to God and His people through our marriage. We will be getting married in Paraguay and will be starting our first home there! We thank each one of you for your constant love and support of us and covet your prayers while we begin this new stage of life!
