How I Met My Husband: We met at Cohutta Springs Camp in Georgia where both of us had an interest in serving the Lord. From those moments we knew God brought us together for this special moment. Since then God has been a beautiful guide in our lives and He blessed us in this mission. So Cohutta has been a special place for us where it all began. So grateful that we were there with our youth group to be able to meet such an amazing hubby!
How I Became an Adventist: I was privileged to have parents that were Seventh-day Adventist Christians. They were very involved in the church and made it a priority to lead us to love Jesus and to serve Him when we came to America. That desire was placed in my heart from a young age and it followed me for a long time. I chose to give my heart to Jesus in baptism at the age of fifteen. It was the best decision of my life!
What I Like to Do for Fun: we like to go hiking, camping and enjoying outdoor activities, studying and learning other cultures, and traveling
Favorite Bible Promise: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
