Today it is a time to reflect on how much we need to be grateful for people who have made an impact in our lives the way Bishop Bateman did for the children.
As a Bishop some 20 years ago when he was made President of BYU he was visiting Daniel's home.The children at the time were little, and were sitting around the dining table when they heard his advice that he wanted to see each one there to attend BYU. He also told them to get a job and to not buy a car because studies show that students who work part time do better in school than those who don't and also not having a car prevents them from getting too distracted.
The advice was well taken since all and the Almeida brothers and sisters graduated from BYU.
Starting with Andres, Gabriel, Pablo, Alejandro, Analia, Valentina and now Hernan.
Today is an important date for our family as one more graduate enters into the real world. Hernan had an offer to work for Exon in Houston Texas and is moving there with his wife Rachael next month. As a graduation present we are giving him and Rachael a trip to the Dominican Republic.
