How I Met My Husband: We met at church when she moved to Indianapolis to work after graduation and Nelson had moved in route to Andrews University. We became friends and hung out doing church group outreach together. Then we began dating in 2002. In 2003 he proposed through a puzzle with the question ‘Will you marry me?’ unreadable until the last piece was placed. We were married June 22, 2003, in a simple wedding at Indiana Academy.
How I Became an Adventist: “I was born into a Seventh-day Adventist family and was baptized at the age of thirteen in an Ecuadorian jungle creek as my parents were missionaries there for around twelve years of my life.”
What I Like to Do for Fun: As a family we enjoy water parks and visiting national parks and waterfalls
Favorite Bible Promise: Psalm 139. You may choose to read the chapter as a reminder for yourself. It begins and ends like this: “Oh, Lord, You have searched me and known me…..Search me, Oh God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties, and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
