Here is how the story goes....I started off at 12 years old playing the congas at my church(just for fun).Until 2 years later my parents bought me a Salvador live cd,because they thought it had good conga playing in it.I liked it so much I bought the dvd.Their conga player's name was Eliot Torres,I thought he was the best.And as I was watching the dvd my mom told me God had showed her that I was supposed to go to a concert,and that what I see at the concert will open my eyes to what God has called me to do.A couple months later,my mom had heard from a friend that Jaci Velasquez was having a concert five minutes away from our house.We knew nothing about Jaci Velasquez at the time,but my mom said it was the right concert.We had front row seats.My parents and I got excited when we saw there was a percussionist.And as he was playing my dad and I looked at eachother like,(this guy sure plays a lot like the guy from salvador).But we couldn't recognize who he was.Then Jaci Velasquez started introducing her band,and when she had said the name Eliot Torres I could not believe my ears!!...After a moment like that,I know the truth is God does hear my most secret thoughts.I hope one day,God will use me like he did Eliot Torres.And I want to continue to grow in my gifting,and also meet more awesome percussionist and musicians!!
