Our Rocky Mountain High Tour   continues…   Last weekend we met with Mary Jo and Dave Tesitor in  Huerfano County, Colorado.   They have three adopted children.   The Tesitors, driven by their  Catholic faith,  adopted children with special needs.   The first child was the result of a crisis pregnancy and preliminary  tests showed the child  could  have some significant mental disabilities.   The child was, indeed, born with some mental impairment.   The Tesitors were in earnest prayer asking God for a sign  about whether to adopt, given the condition.   (They hadn’t yet gone to the hospital to see the baby yet.)   However, during their discernment process, they decided if they were going to adopt, they would name the baby: Maria.   After some time, they called the hospital to make an appointment to come in to see the baby.   When  explaining about which room the baby was in, the nurse said: ”  ‘Baby Maria’  is  in room…”   “That was enough of a sign for us,” Mary Jo smiled.   Note:   Dave Tesitor also writes articles for the Huerfano World Journal newspaper here.   He called his editor and said he’d like to do a story on our campaign.   She said ok, unless of course I was like the last independent presidential candidate they’d interviewed.   Dave told me that just before Election 2008, a woman showed up at the newspaper saying she was running for president as an independent candidate and that one of her platform points was: “Making Mars the 51st state.”   I told Dave to call his editor back and tell her how ridiculous I thought that was.   “Then tell her I think the 51st state actually  should be Pluto.”
