We met through a wonderful couple, Luis and Lucy DeLeon, whom Sean knew through his older brother which are his brothers in-laws. Emily knew them through her work, Kehe, which partnered with Luis and Lucy's ministry in Laredo TX, and sent teams down there to go on mission trips! They both told us of one another and that we would be perfect for each other! Of course upon hearing about one another's heights, we were both pretty skeptical about this working out at all! After talking on the phone for a few weeks, Sean chickened out and told Emily this would not work out. In October of 2016, Sean was invited to go on a mission trip by Luis and Lucy to Guatemala. Sean was told that Emily and a team from Kehe would be going as well. Sean arrived first and waited with Luis and Lucy for the Kehe team to arrive. When Sean finally got to see Emily outside of the airport, he felt an invisible hand slap him on the back of the head and a voice inside his head say "you're an idiot!" On the last night of the trip Sean asked to speak with Emily alone and told her he would like to resume where they left off as well as plenty of apologies to his stupidity. Thanks to God speaking through Luis and Lucy and a slap to the back of the head the rest we say is history!
