In 2017, Kristin traveled to Colombia with a small group to help out at a VBS run by their friends Karson and Eyson. Daniel, having known Karson and Eyson for several years, was asked to come translate for the group. Kristin and Daniel became fast friends, and kept in touch. After planning for several years, Daniel booked a flight and traveled to Panama City Beach, FL to spend some time with Kristin. From that moment forward, they have been inseparable. After many years of hoping and praying, the two are excited to begin their new journey as husband and wife.
