My brother...

This picture was taken after a date we had with Marcos, Maria, Joel and Sid. The boys were being so silly and we were having a great laugh! They sure seem to be enjoying themselves a little too much ;) (wink wink)

My brother, Marcos, is seriously one of the nicest people I know. He has the best memory and has an ability to remember all sorts of random things about people. When we have had parties or get togethers at our house and we have invited friends over or Trevino side of the family Marcos is always sure to talk to everyone AND he really listens and cares about what people say to him. You know how we are supposed to be like children, in the forgive and forget sort of a sense? Well, Marcos is that kind of person. He is so non-judgemental. He is so quick to forgive and always loving (sometimes too loving :)). He is VERY passionate about life. He loves unconditionally and he is a big example to me of how to be more kind and more Christlike.

I remember, when we were young. I had an appointment right after school and Marcos had to stay with me so we could get back home. We were caught in the rain and we had decided to get a treat with the money my mom gave us for the taxi and it was one of the fondest memories I have of Marcos. I really had a great time with him that day. He treated my like a 'big' person and he cared about what a I had to say. It made me feel loved by him.

Anyway, today he was called and set-a-part as a High Councilman! I think its so crazy. He is young (35/6) to be in that calling, at least I think so. It was really neat to see him 'progress' in the priesthood. Maria, his wife, is very lucky to have such a great guy to be her companion. I sure wish him the best as he embarks in this demanding calling. It was interesting to see him and his countenance. I love Marcos and I am grateful for his example of forgiveness. He asked my dad (our dad) to ordain him as a High Priest in the Melchizedek Priesthood. After the difficult times we have all experienced with my dad in the last four years, I was so touched by Marcos' decision to have my dad have that honor. Marcos has always had a huge heart and (i have heard my dad say many times) he has a heart of an angel.

Love you Marcobich!
