The Dream of My Sister
by Jociene Felipe
- Many people have different dreams.
- Very often our dream shatters like a champagne flute on the hard floor.
- My sister Ivoneide Salazar
- was the lucky one to have her sacred dream come true
- When she was 14
- This is how she would tell this story if you were her close friend
- I always wanted to learn to speak English and visit the USA.
- I had an opportunity to meet with many young American missionaries at my church.
- The missionaries lived in Brazil and served the Lord by teaching the Gospel to the Brazilian people.
- Two weeks before my birthday, David bought me a present.
- I was very relived to see my friend's happy face in the airport.
- I think he was more nervous than I was.
- The first place he took me to see was the Los Angeles Temple
- He was very nice and took me to see many places every day.
- We had many opportunities to get to know each other better.
- I felt in love with this wonderful man.
- I'm a very happy person today.
- So many dreams and so few accomplishments
- Even now at thirty-nine years old she still remembers her twenty third birthday back in Brazil when she met with her family for the last time before she departed to the United States.
- Thirteen years ago I was at Rio de Janeiro airport in Brazil, very anxiously awaiting my final departure to Los Angeles
- Still in the moment so close to my departure, it was difficult to believe that I was going to finally make my own dream come true.
- One of them invited me to meet with his family and to get to know him better
- David was impatiently awaiting me with a bouquet of red roses.
- I felt that he was glad for his plan that he made to bring me to the US.
- But one day, David surprised me when he asked me to become his wife.
- We got married six months later on December 12, 1987, in the Los Angeles Temple.
- . I become Mrs. Salazar in the presence of his family and friends.
- The years went by and we had four wonderful children.
- My life changed because I made a decision, even with all my doubts.
- She told me that story so many times that I kind of remember every little detail.
- My sister has four kids and very loving family.
- Sometime I envy her, but most of the time I'm proud for her success.
- Some of my dreams didn't come true and some did.
- she heard about this fairytale land where everybody was happy and they called this the land of Milk and Honey.
- It was a one-way ticket to America! I flew for many hours, and on top of it, I had problems with the Immigration in Florida.
- Finally after all the adventures of this trip, I arrived safe and sound in Los Angeles.
- To have the opportunity to marry him was like a dream that I never thought could become a reality, because he was always telling me that I was a great friend.
- When I remember the trip that I made to America, I feel very happy to know that I let my doubts become hope, that everything would be all right.
