Marini: Our Brazilian Birthday Boy
... from Brazil. Our boy from Brazil, Luca Marini, Steds freshman, went home for Spring Break, and then, with the closure of the residence halls, he ended up staying. Yes, what was meant to be visit for only a week turned into a visit, well, for much longer. But, if someone's stay is unexpectedly extended, there's no better place for that to happen than one's home. And if that wasn't enough, then throw in celebrating your birthday at home too. What else could you ask for?! A special cake... oh, he's got that too. On being home and celebrating his 19th birthday, Marini shared, “I know God has brought my family together in such difficult times for a reason. It is a blessing to be able to celebrate my birthday with those who I love the most and be able to reunite with my home culture once again.”
