We first met in the summer of 2016. We were both working with the same mission organization in the Dominican Republic. We became friends after Bethany moved to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic to work with Food for the Hungry in 2017.

Our friendship grew into love in November of 2018 after spending time together in the mission field. Alejandro’s servant heart and strong leadership won Bethany's heart and admiration. Bethany moved back to Pennsylvania to continue her education to be a nurse practitioner the summer of 2019.

Despite the long distance and a pandemic, our love has endured these 6 years. At last our dream is coming true for us to be married and to continue our life together in the United States.
