There was so much more to my mission than I want to, or dare try to convey in a few pictures in small web site. It was an awesome experience for a nineteen year old boy who had never been away from home before. Thank you mom and dad for sending me. It was an experience that gave me a solid beginning in my adult life. I entered my mission with a testimony of the gospel and returned with joy having served and loved a people I had not before known.
I would do it again! It was the best two years of my life.
