mi gente

About a year ago I posted about one of my favorite people from Jersey coming to Salt Lake to serve a mission for my church. Well his brother has followed right behind him. Dario will be serving in the Provo , UT mission (english speaking). I am so proud of these two, I feel like their sister or something. (technically I am their sister :))

Can I just brag about these fine young men for a second? They are the only members of the church in their family. They have been ridiculed and persecuted for years because their family doesn't believe in that in which they are so convicted. They saved and worked so hard to be here. The spirit just emulates through them. Juan, the older brother, is serving in SLC. (spanish speaking) We took Dario to see Temple Square and it just so happened that it is Juan's current area. We were lucky enough to meet up with Juan and visit for a few minutes. They were so cute together. Juan gave his younger brother such good advice, it made me want to cry.

I thought it was so random they both were called to serve here in Utah. I love that we have the chance of bumping into them. If you see these two elders walking down the street, please take a few minutes to talk to them and you will see just how amazing they really are.

Thank you "fritos"! Thank you for hanging out for a day and reminding me why I miss Jersey so very much. Thank you for reminding me to stand a little taller.
