Patrick is a Tennessee born and raised boy that may have never learned the southern accent but certainly has the southern manners and charm. He is the oldest of 7 kids and loves to be people. His biggest hobby and talent is music. You will always hear him singing and playing mandolin or guitar all the time. His greatest joy is spending time with his future wife Iris and with his good friends. Superman is his favorite superhero & his biggest wish is to fly. Patrick enjoys traveling and has been in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, Domenic Republic and cannot wait to travel more with Iris.
Most importantly he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior when he was 8 years old. He had prayed many times before but on that one particular evening service he understood that Jesus Christ died for him personally and all he needed to do is accept it....once.
Iris is a Germarican (German + American) born and raised in Germany. She grew up speaking both languages, going to an American school for 6 years & going to an American church all her life and that made it possible for her to live in "little America" with her Military friends. Iris loves playing her piano & singing harmony with Patrick. Her dream job is a being a teacher. She graduated in May this year and is looking forward to teaching this fall. Her greatest joy is being with her future husband Patrick (you can't wipe that smile off her face) and being creative.
The most important decision she ever made though was when she was 4 years old. She asked Jesus to forgive her of her sins because she knew that her lies, temper tantrums & naughtiness would NOT let her into heaven. She prayed that night and asked Jesus to come into her heart now she is 100% sure she is going to heaven.
