So 12 years ago my mission companion, Hermana Halpin & I taught the Sanchez family the discussions & were able to see them baptized. Angela, the oldest daughter had been previously baptised & was an incredible example for her family.
One year later they were sealed for time & eternity in the Ecuador temple! My companion was lucky enough to get to attend the sealing with her parents at the end of her mission.
The 2 oldest daughters ended up coming to Utah to go to school at BYU & met & fell in love with Americans. Angela married Elder (Dave) Adamson from my mission - no nothing happened during his mission! They now live in New Jersey. Dave is in the Air Force & flies planes. He was deployed right after their second baby was born so Coralia flew up from Ecuador to help her out.
Of course she couldn't come to states without seeing both of her daughters so she & Angela with her kids flew out to Utah to see Cora.
Cora & her husband, Gabe, just moved back to Provo, thus prompting a reunion.
They had always still been in contact with Amie but not me so for me it was the first time to see them after the mission. I flew up to SLC & my sister Julie picked me up from the airport. We did a little shopping & then she took me to Amie's house.
It was so great to see them again! It was amazing! Coralia hadn't changed a bit! Of course Angela & Cora were all grown up now! But Fernando, Paco, & Belen weren't able to come. So I will have to go see then in Ecuador! Sooner than later hopefully!
Cora is so photogenic! In fact, she should be a model because she does so well at posing! I won't post the other pictures of her because she told me not to but this picture is beautiful so sorry Cora!
We happened to plan it on Kamdyn's birthday & she was nice enough to share it with us!
Emerie, Bailey, & Kamdyn.
Angela's sweet little boy Matthew. He is a doll & I love his little face in this picture!
So until I make it down to Ecuador, this post will have to do! I am so grateful to have a part in the life of this family! They are incredible! Fernando is the Bishop of their ward right now! I can't wait to see the rest of the family!
