Summary of our Lives

Summary of our Lives

Two diverse worlds established at opposite ends of our universe.  Neither speaking the same language. Unique traditional heritages formed many years ago. Dissimilar and somewhat divergent in each their own way.  Yet one thing combined them, focused them and joined them together even before they actually met.  Both heeded the call to wake up and put their shoulder to the wheel. A time to follow in His footsteps and spread His word. Accepting the challenge and answering the call to serve. Each path leading them to the enchanted land of Oaxaca Mexico.  Neither had a desire, nor understanding of what to expect, not even what was to come.

They did not falter while defending truth and right, neither did they shrink nor shun the fight. Hardships came and hardships went. Yet abounding in laughter and joy with a fullness that only came from fulfilling that call. 

Brush encounters sparking along the way.  Hints of what could become in the future recorded in their eyes and in their hearts. Nothing really set in stone, neither inflaming in their hearts.  That is until the time was over to serve.  

The universe helped these two worlds to collide one last time. With letters of love, eternal songs of time and phone calls of friendship, the binding of these two worlds now became one. Sealed together through the eternal bonds and keys of the priesthood power. With the promise to repeat the call and now serve together hand in hand, with a prayer in our hearts, and with all our might mind and soul.

A new world created between the two. That love of the Savior that they shared in the mission field now converted into a love that they shared towards each other. Expanding the bounds of this new world by giving 3 wonderful boys the opportunity to live and learn what this life is all about. 

We have shared our life experiences together starting in Utah, where our boys were born. We learned firsthand of life and its hardships it brings. Yet in Lowell Massachusetts we learned that life is delicate. Life is precious. Our love grew to all those around us. After 16 years our world moved to Arizona. We now enjoy the sun, the temple, work and family. 

Our world that we created 23 years ago has taken us back many times to Mexico even to that enchanted land of Oaxaca.  

Now our world awaits in ready for the future, with love and happiness in our hearts. We hope to share it with our expanded worlds yet to come.
