Our good friends, Janett and (Elder) Fernando Del Carpio, were in town from Peru for a visit a few weeks ago. We were able to meet with them June 20 while they were staying with some friends in Kaysville.
Janett is one of the daughters of my mission president and his wife, Carlos and Maria Cuba. The day of our meeting happened to fall on Fathers Day—Janett's first since her father's passing last summer—and it was, quite understandably, a very emotional time for her. Having also lost her mother a few months ago, I'm sure, added to the difficulty.
Nevertheless, Janett spoke with great faith about these losses, even mentioning that her sister had related a dream she had about Pdte. Cuba being dressed all in white and running off because he was so busy and had so many things to do in the spirit world. This thought brough me great comfort, as well.
Though I had to do a lot of Spanish-to-English translation for JB's sake, there was very little if anything lost in translation. JB and Janett have become good friends in the short time they've known each other, and we are grateful for our relationship with the Del Carpio family.
