Nico and Melody should have never met. They lived on opposite sides of the world, Nico in Misiones, Argentina and Melody in California. It was truly God who brought them together. In 2013, Melody and Nico felt they should go study in Buenos Aires to IBRP Bible School. Little did they know that they would meet there and fall in love. On the first day of class, they both sat on opposite sides of the room. Nico noticed Melody when she accidentally said “here” instead of “aquí” during the attendance roll. He immediately wanted to know more about her. In the next class, he sat next to her and asked for her number to help with her Spanish homework. After that, Nico and Melody did everything together. They would rehearse on the worship team, study together in the library, clean the nasty kitchen on Tuesdays, eat way too much pizza with their friends on the weekends and sit next to each other in every class. On the last day of the semester, Nico took Melody to the airport to say their last goodbye. He told her that he loved her and wanted to see her again. He gave her a ten letters to open for the whole year so she would not forget him. They decided to stay in touch and made their way home. Nico and Melody only saw each other a couple weeks of the year, anxiously waiting to go back to IBRP. After three summers together, they knew they would not see each other again after graduation. They agreed for each of them to go their separate ways, but they both couldn’t forget about their summers together. They both found their way back to each other years later and realized that they wanted to see each other again. Nico came in 2017 to meet Melody's family and ask her to be his girlfriend. She obviously said yes! On Christmas day of 2019, Nico proposed to Melody! Since then, they have been inseperable with only God to thank for bringing them together. And all of this started with a “here”.

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commandments.
