I love this group of people! I am so glad my mom became friends with Sophia. I know without a doubt that she was placed into my moms path so that we could get to know her and her sweet family. She is the most amazing woman who has raised such awesome children. My family has helped her and her kids out a lot, but and she thanks us all so much all of the time. What she doesn't know is that she has done more for our family than we have done for hers. I LOVE the Hispanic culture. I always tell Josh that if I could be another race, I would choose to be Mexican. I love Mexican food, I love to party and I love the importance of family. These are things that are all important in that culture. We have been to a lot of parties that Sophia has planned and put on and when we are with this group of people (Sophia and her family and friends) we (my family) are definitely the minority. We are treated with so much kindness and they welcome us and treat us like family. I just love it so much! I just wish that I spoke Spanish fluently. I am working on it and will speak it at some point in my life. We were brought together this time because Sebastian was baptized. He and Sophia asked my Dad if he would the baptism. My Dad was so honored to be the one to do it and knew that he needed to work on learning the prayer in Spanish. He was so nervous and practiced and practiced. He did an amazing job! He was confident and filled with the spirit. It was a great baptism and confirmation. Even though the entire thing was done in Spanish, I still felt the spirit so strongly.
I love this beautiful friend of mine.
The two that brought this crazy crew together.
Sebastian is such a good boy. He is so kind and obedient, and as handsome as ever!
All of the kids minus Stella and Noellia
My kids love playing with these kids, they all get a long so well and have so much fun with each other. I am grateful my kids get the experience of spending time with them and seeing what a different culture is all about.
