It all began with Roberto's Bible study and my trip home from the mission field in France during the summer of '17. Who would have ever known the depths of the plans that the Lord had for us? I can only imagine the fun He was having in Heaven when He introduced us! Shortly after we met we developed a casual friendship with one another since we consistently met up for Bible studies and communion with friends. Nothing seemed out of the usual, and I considered Roberto to be a wonderful godly man who had a genuine love for God and for his small flock of believers. The weeks flew by and I was making plans to return to France as I had already applied for my visa. I had no intention of remaining in the United States, but God had other plans in mind for me! A few weeks later, we traveled to Arkansas on a ministry trip. Between talks about callings, beliefs, hobbies, backgrounds and other miscellaneous facts about our lives, we unconsciously were on the brink of discovering that there was a kindling flame in our souls towards one another. Being intrigued, Roberto persuaded me to accompany him to a mutual friends’ wedding the very next afternoon, not necessarily as a date, but as "just a friend.” The following evening we were caught up in a lengthy conversation, which led to both of us slowly realizing over the next week, that we could not seem to get each other off of our minds. After making every little excuse to see each other, we saw how perfectly formed we were for one another in every minute detail. The last year for us has been a whirlwind of falling profoundly in love with one another. Precisely one year later, on July 7, 2018, Roberto romantically proposed to me at the Tulsa Botanic Gardens. I, of course, emphatically said, “YES!” How good and faithful God has been to us both, and we are honored to include you in our most special day! We hope you are able to attend and celebrate with us! We have found the one whom our souls love.
