So proud!!!


These pictures are of Anthony Ambriz, his wife Rebekah, and their newborn daughter, Veronica. I have mentioned Anthony in other posts, but I just wanted to share my Anthony story again. When I was on my mission in Nashville, Tennessee my companion and I taught Anthony and his family the gospel. He was 17 at the time and very shy and introverted. He and his family were baptized in 2000. The changes I saw in him after he joined the church were amazing. He was really happy.
I lost contact with him for many years, and actually only caught up with him in the last year or two. He went on to serve a mission in Bilbao, Spain. He just graduated from BYU, and he and his wife Rebekah just had their first baby. He was a really good breakdancer when he was a kid, but I think it could be said now that he is a GREAT breakdancer. He and his group of b-boys (as they are called) go around doing demonstrations for local schools and groups. They also compete with other groups. That is a picture of him bringin' it above.
Veronica was born last week, and Anthony is a very proud papa! Felicidades, familia Ambriz!!!
