Hermano Pascual

We have met some people with truly amazing stories! One of these people is Hermano Pascual. One evening, during my temple shift, I had the opportunity to chat with Hermana Pascual. It started out by me asking whether she and her husband had both been members before they got married. She said she had been, but not him. After they got married he did join, and then he served as bishop of their ward for about 9 years. For many years there weren't roads to get to church so they had to walk and it would take them a couple of hours. 

The story I really wanted to share is of his early life. His mother was raising four children on her own. An older son, who was in his mid-teens, and three younger children four and younger. Hno. Pascual was the four year old. At this time in his life his mother died. His older brother tried supporting the two youngest, but wasn't able to support Hno. Pascual too. For the next several years he ate fruits and vegetables, and slept in mango trees. Hna. Pascual said he was like a feral child. Eventually, his older brother was able to help take care of him too. 

It's incredible that having gone through this experience that he has been able to come out of it with such a caring, wonderful nature! God has blessed his life! He's currently one of the temple sealers.
