Ruben and Martha were ready to make the announcement of their engagement to the group of Solteros (single men and women) in March, just when the Covid-19 virus shut down all meetings and gatherings. So, our couple helped to initiate the virtual communication, socialization and daily (virtual) reality of which we are all familiar.

José Vicencio left his wife, Maricela, and two sons, Fernando (26 years old) and Elohim (18), when he died a month ago. They are bereaved, but holding firmly the hope of faith. He also left the Seguidores de la Cruz, an extended spiritual family, grieving and striving to give thanks in these circumstances. We know He is faithful and has a plan, but the Heavenly Father certainly did not consult any of us on José’s departure at this particular time.
