Hi! Thank you for supporting me these last 18 months and for allowing me to experience the most life changing adventure. My mission has been the hardest but most happiest time of my life.

Wednesday was crazy. Lots of lessons and meetings and Instagram stuff. Andres is preparing to be baptized this Saturday and had all sorts of questions about the Book of Mormon and....fasting haha.
