| Tell us about your family. How do you feel about relocating? | My family met Jesus as Lord and Savior when I was nine years old. I started attending Sunday School, Sunday morning and afternoon Worship Services, Prayer Services, and as I learned the Scriptures I began to understand my need for salvation. But it wasn’t until eight years later that I accepted Jesus as Lord of my life. |
| How old were you when you were drawn to Christ and how is your Christian walk these days? | God allowed me to recognize my need for Him |

| Are you content being single? Why? If not, why? | Today I am very grateful that through the years I can see the service opportunities as a blessing from God, I am working in His Kingdom. It is my prayer to the Lord that if he opens doors for me to marriage it will be as an opportunity to continue glorifying Him through service. |

| Other than your parents, who has been the most influential person in your life and how? | One of the pastors of the Biblical Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and his family. |
| What contributed to your previous relationship/marriage ending? | That person was not interested in a marriage. |
| How long have you been on your own since and what did you to do get through it? | In our culture it is normal for children to stay at home until they get married, in my case, I have lived alone since 2013 because my entire family emigrated to the United States. |
| Favorite lines from movies, poems, songs, hymns or Scripture you would like to tell us about? | “The most valuable resource that all teachers have is each other. Without collaboration our growth is limited to our own perspectives” Robert John Meehan. “You are where God wants you to be at this very moment. Every experience is part of His divine plan.” I don´t think inside the box, “The person who has learned to read well is never dependent on living teachers to educate him” John Piper “The more you read the more things you will know. “A key to growing as a teacher is to keep company mainly with teachers who uplift you, whose presence inspire you and whose dedication drives you” Robert John Meehan. Psalm 126:5-6 |
| What type of work do/did you do? | I am a First Grade Teacher. |
| How long have you been/were you in that line of work? Do/you enjoy it? | I have been a teacher for over 30 years, and in this profession there are moments of many delights: a smile, a hug, a lot of letters, photos, a voice of a big man who says: hello teacher !, which become unforgettable moments. There are also moments of sadness, misunderstanding and tears, when a parent attacks your teaching style, when a boss does not support you in a delicate situation, when a child falls from a bush (greetings to David Rincón and his parents Alberto and Raquel ). But after 30 years I can say with certainty that when we put our eyes on heaven and not on earth, the moments of joy far outweigh the moments of discouragement. |
| Do you have any life-long goals? What are they? | Just one: To glorify God with my life every single day. |
| Where were you born and where have you traveled? | I was born i Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I have traveled many times to E.E.U.U. to differents states for more than 20 years and my hole family resides in Florida. |
| How do you enjoy your leisure time? What do you do for recreation? | Usually i spend time with nature: Beach, walking in a mountain. |
| Is there anything that the questionnaire didn’t cover? | I dont think so. |
| About Me | God moves us along different paths, as we allow ourselves to be guided by Him. He moves us, uses us and changes us to that place where we will be useful for His kingdom. Many times staying in our comfort zone does not allow us to grow. It is beautiful how God always prepares our hearts to move us to where He wants to fulfill His plans in our lives, and in doing so this brings peace and joy to our hearts. Remembering that those who love God, all things work together for good is a refreshment in the midst of tribulations. God’s faithfulness never ceases. |
