It started with these TWO WONDERFUL people...
They had FIVE AWESOME children...
Who married some GREAT people...
And added FIFTEEN little people to the family...
Which I might add have STYLIN' shoes...
GORGEOUS eyes...
the BEST smiles...
and were SUPER easy to work with...
TWENTY FIVE PEOPLE!
How do I know them?
Because of this AMAZING person right here...
MATTHEW!
This family means the world to me. They gave me an experience in Uruguay that has shaped my whole life. I can't believe it has been 10 years since Mateo was reminding everyone that "ella no sabe" and pointing to me. Or when he was yelling on the street corner "WE NEED MAS DINERO!" when I didn't have enough money for a movie rental. I won't forget teaching him how to tie his shoes and Matt so innocently reminding me of VELCRO...but then being so proud of him when I heard "I DID IT!" I am sure Matthew will never forgive me for the bean jar I made him carry around, or the many times he ran around the block...I know, I know I hear the grunts from here. :)
I loved talking and laughing with Robyn. She ALMOST convinced me that shopping was fun...although it was fun with her in the ferrias...as they know by the amount of stuff I sent home with them. Thanks again.
President Chidester taught me a lot about recognizing the spirit, hard work, obedience and that I eat my toast weird. ;)
There really isn't a day that goes by that I am not reminded of the blessings of Uruguay, and how blessed I feel that I was chosen to be a part of your family. You always made me feel so loved.
Thank you! I Love you guys!
