Oh my word! What a wonderful blessing to have two new babies in our family!! Baby Bella and Baby Tru!! Wow our family is so blessed!!!! I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father that we have the family that we have! We are so so Truly Blessed!! Congrats Casey and Brynnie!! He is a little Guapo!!!!! LOL!!! Oh that is so so so wonderful!! I can not wait to meet them both!!! And what a wonderful blessing to share the same birthday with Kisscal!! Fun!! It will be a day that will live in Infamy! no se how to spell it for sure? lol!!!


Oh my Hermosa Familia!!! I am so blessed to have all of you in my life!! I am so glad that everyone is healthy and happy!! What a wonderful time of year this is to think more on our Saviors Birth! This time is about Him! Yes, Santa Claus is fun and presents are great, but the True Reason is our Savior!

I know it will be hard not to be there with you all but I know why I am here! To tell of the Good Tidings and Great Joy that Christ can and does bring!! So I am going to look at this Christmas as the best Christmas that I will ever have, because I will not be able to get this back ever!! And I am glad I can spend one Christmas as a Missionary!! If you think about it, it is very special!

So I have some information about how it will work on Christmas Day! I think now you are an hour behind us, here in Costa Rica, right? Ok! so what the rules are in the mission is……………………………….................. So make sure you call that number ok!!!

But as for me I am doing good!! This week was tough! Pretty much all our citas this week fell through so it was so so so hard but its ok what goes down must come up!? So hopefully this week will be better than the last. A lot of people here say December is so hard to have citas, because everyone is with family and out of their houses and having parties. But I know that the Lord will bless us and all will be ok!!

I am learning so much in my mission and that is to have Faith!! Faith in my Savior and put my entire life in his hands. At times I think I can do it all by myself, but I can’t! I am nothing without my Savior and His direction. I am learning to have more Faith in Him. I never thought it would be so hard but I think that is why we are here is to learn to have more Faith and to realize in this life we are here by Faith! I am glad for this time of hardship in my mission because I am learning at times I don’t like the person who I am when I am facing something hard. But I am trying to better myself and learn to have Faith and Hope in all things!! I do feel as if I am going through the refiners fire and at times it hurts but it is what I need. It hurts to be stripped of your selfishness! Selfishness is horrible and when we are selfish we are nothing. I am glad that I am with a companion that she is teaching me this principle of putting others first and their feelings. I am far far from perfect but I know the things I need to change to be a more loving person!

But here it is so so cold I have to wear a jacket all day! I thought Costa Rica was really hot! nope! LOL! It is cold, well it is hot in certain places, but in San Jose it is cold!

So yes my area is very much the city. We are outside of San José about 20 mins so it is very city like! There is nothing but houses in my area! But I do like it. The members are great and my Bishop is awesome!! And yes the elders that are my liders are awesome!! We get along really well!! Combios are this Friday. I don’t know if I have changes or not. I don’t think I do but my companion feels like she will. So we don’t know. I will probably know tomorrow!

So guess what a recent convert, not of mine, but in San Carlos got her mission call to Peru and she went through the Temple Saturday. I wanted to go so bad, so my zone liders said I could go but they said it is your decision and what is best for the work and your investigators? So I felt bad and I didn’t go but all day Saturday, all I mean all, our citas fell through! So I felt so bad that I missed the temple trip to go with her, her first time. And I am wondering what was the lesson I needed to learn from this experience because I thought I was doing the right thing by not going and working and trying to get our investigators to church but then all my citas fell and I didn’t teach a single lesson that day! It was horrible! But I know that all things happen for a reason? and I need to have a stronger perspective not just in the here and now but in the long run as well!

But I love living with 2 other sisters. It makes it not so boring and it is awesome to have more people to talk to!! So I am loving it! It is truly a blessing in my life right now!!!

Well, I love you all! I am not sure when I am able to write again so I might not until the 23rd because I think that is p day but I am not sure but if not I will be talking to you all on the 25th whoop whoop!! I am so so so excited!!!!!

I love you all!!

Love always and forever

Dear Familia,
I am so sorry for not telling you what happened to me the other weekend!! But I have a strong testimony that everything happens for a reason and those boys needed to hear they were loved and that they can change through this Gospel. But I am fine and this area is safe, we just need to be a little more careful!

So I am sorry... but how is everyone this week!! I hope everyone is happy and safe!! Did you all hear the First Presidency message for Christmas? It was so good!!! We went to our stake building and we had a cute Christmas program in the beginning which all the barrios in our Stake sang 2 Christmas songs and then we ate tamales ( tamales are a Christmas tradition here, it is like our ham!) And then we watched the first Presidents Message! It was fun! My companion and I sang in our ward choir and then all the missionaries in our zone sang too. It was very special, we sang Oh Holy Night and Cantan Santos Angels! I can’t remember what it is called in English!! Oh no I am losing my mind lol!!! So it was special to start of the Christmas season!! I know this will be one of the best Christmas’s of my life!! Because this will be the only Christmas I will have as a missionary so I need to make it the best!!!!

But I don’t know what time I can call. I will try to call in the afternoon! Like around 1 or 2 so that everyone can be there!! But I will first call you and then you can call me back! But it will be Christmas Day that I can call! So like 3 more weeks!!! Let the count down begin!!! LOL!!!

Yes we had our baptism!!! Whoop Whoop, and it was so special! The wedding before and the baptism!! That family is so special to me because I can see them being able to be together for eternity and I am gaining such a strong testimony in forever families and I know that is what this gospel is all about! Families and returning, with them, to our loving Heavenly Father!!!

I just want to cry because I love my Savior so much! I love that I get to share this message with everyone!! This mission is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I know the Savior lives! I have had the amazing opportunity to read Jesus the Christ and that book is so special to me!! I love it! And I love that I have visited the places where my Savior walked! I am so blessed to have seen those very holy sacred sights!! I know my Savior lived a perfect life and his life was love!! He is my best friend! I never thought I could love Him anymore than I already did but I love Him more and more everyday!! He is my best friend and he is there for me when I feel like am just so alone. He is there and He loves me!! I love him with every fiber of my being!! I can’t express how much he has changed my life!! I am so blessed, so so so truly blessed, to be serving a mission. Even though it is so hard and at times I don’t know for sure if I can last 10 more months but I then realize, this is not about me! This is about Gods children and they need this gospel. They need to know that is it only through Christ that we can be healed. I am so thankful for this Season and that we can remember the Saviors birth.. I can remember a year ago, this season, where I sat in the field where the angles came and testified the Savior of the world had be born! That night changed the world! How very blessed I am that my Heavenly Father would have sent His son to be born and die for everyone here and who has ever lived on this earth! I hope that this Christmas Season that us, as a family, remember this sacred time of the year. The time that our Savior was born!! I love you all and I am so thankful for you!!

Brynnie, how very special on the 10th baby Tru will be born!! He will be very special to our family! I know everything will be fine with you and him because angels are watching over you and he will be healthy and happy!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY KISSCAL DEAR! HAPPY DAYS WILL COME TO YOU ALL YEAR!! Oh my beautiful sister!!! Happy birthday day tomorrow!! I love you so so much Kiss!! You are the best sister in the world!! I can’t express how much I admire you and how I want to be like you! You are a very special person and I know it is not by accident that you are my sister! You are such a great and loving mom!! I want to be like you in every way!! I hope you have the best day ever!! Because Next year we will celebrate your birthday together!! I love you itter!!

Oh cambios are next week. I don’t know if I have changes or not but my companion feels like she will be moved! So I don’t know but I can write next Monday because cambios are on the 17th!

I love you all! Thanks for everything!! You are the best family ever!!!

Love always and forever Hermana Turnbaugh

Kaylie's Experiance

So Casey I have to tell you this story but you cant tell mom she will freak out. I alluded to it in my email to her but defiantly didn’t tell details but I have to tell you what happened before I pop!!


So this Thursday about 8: 40pm my companion and I were walking home from our cita and as we were walking I saw two young guys about 17 years old on bikes they noticed us and I could tell they were talking about us! And then we turned the corner as well and they were following us. We were against the back side of a house and they cornered us up against the wall they said give us your bags and your cell phones. I was trying to play a dumb gringa and I keep saying que? and they asked again and again. I said que? and then he started to get mad a little and he reached into his pocket and said Te queres ir conmigo!! I said QUE? Then the other said do you speak English in English? And I don’t know it was weird but I had a peace come over my whole body Casey and I started to talk to them as if they were my best friends. I said you speak English? That is so awesome! Good for you and I asked them where they learned it and after I showed this love to them they changed! And I said, I can teach you a little and then I said my name is Hermana Turnbaugh and I am a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. But all in spanish and then they said wait you both are missionaries and I said yes and they said so you have bibles in your pack backs? Then I said yes and I also have another book that is very special to me and I pulled out the libro de Mormon and I testified of it! And I said I want to give this to you two and I said you are both very special to our Heavenly Father and maybe you two like to ride on your bikes and scare people but I know that you are different and this Gospel can change your lives for the better.

I kept testifying and in the meantime my companion has been behind me the whole time shaking with fear and I pulled her to my side and said everything is ok! And they apologize and said we comete errores and I said it is fine because all of us are not perfect but through Jesus Christ we can be! It was awesome Casey but the funny part of it all was they said seriously out here is dangerous and you shouldn’t be walking at night alone. In my head I was just laughing. Yeah, thanks for telling us when you wanted to rob us earlier! But they turned out to be good guys, they are just lost. But I said you are my friends now and that means a lot so that means I have your back and you have mine! And they said of course, that they will be watching out for us. They said they wanted to come to church but they didn’t this Sunday but no matter what happens with them it is a great story to tell my grandkids. You can share this with mom if you think it won’t freak her out! Maybe just leave out the part when they said they wanted to take away my life if I didn’t give them my bags!

But it was a cool teaching moment and in my heart I knew I was going to be ok! And I told them, I know God put you two in my path tonight because he wants you to know that he loves you!!

It was awesome because I was totally speaking all in Spanish whoop whoop!!

Well I love you case!!! Love you little Hermana

Hola Familia!!!


Como Le va!?! How is everyone doing? How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? I hope it went so well and you had a very special day to remember how much we are truly blessed!!

I hope You make it home safely Mom and Dad and Laren and Lindsey to Florida as well!!! So all of the familia is doing good!! Tell Adam and Hayley thanks for writing me. I miss them tons but next Thanksgiving we will all be together again!

So as for me this week has been better. Slowly but surely I am getting better! I still get tired and my throats aches still, but I am starting to get better so that is such a blessing.

This week was a week of great teaching lessons for me. I learned a lot this week. I had a very unusual experience! Kind of scary but it was a blessing in disguise but this story is defiantly better to tell my family after the Mission!! So remind me k? Because it was really cool after the fact! LOL!!......

But guess what? I had Thanksgiving dinner!! Our stake president asked all the missionaries in our zone to come over for Thanksgiving dinner because he knew how special it is for us gringo’s. So we had turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. It was very fun! Oh it was so funny, a Latino from Honduras said when the wife brought out the turkey, “holy cow! that is one big chicken” and we all laughed and said that is not a chicken that is a turkey they are different!! But it was very funny and very special! So probably when I was eating, you all were eating too. So it was as if we were all together!! lol!! But it was special and it was a fun experience. I am very blessed to be in this area!!

Oh and also this week I was able to go on splits with a missionary that has a little more than a year in the mission. She is an awesome missionary. Her name is Hermana Bingham and I learned so much from her. She has no fear and she speaks with everyone, so it was so good to work with her and to learn how to be a better missionary! I really needed it! To go with someone else and learn from them because this change has been hard! So I know that President is very inspired and he knew I needed that diversion for two days! It also made be realize I am a better missionary than I think I am!! SO it was great experience and I am glad I got to work with her and improve my missionary skills!!

We didn’t have the baptism this Saturday but next for sure!! I am so excited for them and I know that Heavenly Father is too!! At church they all came and while they were sitting there, the husband Carlos had his arm around his soon to be wife and their two cute little girls and as I sat there and watched them I realized this is what it is all about! It is families!! Families are the most important unit in our Heavenly Fathers plan! And through this gospel they can have a happiness and love that will never die!!! It was a special moment for me. I could see this family all in white and I could see them making sacred covenants, not only for this life, but for Eternities!! Families are the key! Families are such a marvelous gift we have been given from our Heavenly Father!!

So guess what? We are having two other sets of missionaries going to live with us and they are actually going to come today! I don't know why President is moving them maybe they had problems in there old area and he had to emergence change them! So we will see what is up when they get here today. But I feel like it will be a blessing!! So I am excited for that, they are not in our ward, but in the area next to ours so they will be working with another ward too!

But I love you all so much! Thanks for all your words of love and encouragement. Can you believe that on Sunday I will have 7 months in my Mission holy cow time flies huh?!?

Well next week are cambios, so I am not 100 percent sure if I will be able to write on Monday, so if not don’t be worried. I am here and safe and I testify more than ever that I have angels watching over me and I will be safe in this area!!

I love you ALL more than I can possibly say! You are all the best!!! Thanks for everything!!

Love always and forever Hermana Turnbaugh

Hola mi Quierido Familia!!!
How is everyone!?! I am so glad that you mom and dad made it to Parowan safely!! And are having a fun time fixing up Grandma and Grandpas house! That is so great you are doing that Grandma would be so tickled to get all new things and Grandpa would say the house doesn’t need it but he would be tickled inside too!! But tell me how is Adam my cousin is? And tell him that he needs to write me or else and yes that is a threat!! LOl!!

And give Laren and Lindsey a huge hug for me when they get to Parowan! Tell them how much I love and miss them!!
And Brynnie, how exciting you are so close and a new baby will bless our family once more!! I will be praying for you and the baby k? Love you and miss you all!!!

So this week has been a toughie!! I have been so so so sick I haven’t felt this sick for quite a while!! They said I might have rompe huesos, no say what that is but it is when your body aches so bad and you have a fever and a really horrible so throat! And yes I have all of the above! I am feeling a little better but I have such a nasty cough and my chest is tight but I know that the Lord is looking out for me and I will get better soon. I just feel that this cambio the Lord is trying my faith, and the Elders came over to give me a blessing and in the blessing it said that this is a trail of your faith with my sickness and my companion but I am learning so much! But we have got closer through my sickness because she has been really worried about me. I know how much she cares for me! So this sickness has been a blessing in disguise. So, this week we haven’t really been able to work really hard because I have been just so sick but we have gone to our cita in spite of it all and my companion says I am stubborn because I feel so bad just laying in my bed when we have this new area. I just feel like I have my hands tied but hopefully this coming week I feel even better and we can get back to work like normal.
But I had a very spiritual experience this week. So in our ward there is a cute little old couple they are about 86 and the wife is very sick and she can’t talk anymore but she understands everything. So on Thursday I felt like we should visit them so we did and when we to their house and his wife was laying in her bed half asleep but when we came in her eyes opened and I went over to her and took her hand and smiled and said hello and just looked into her eyes. Then she was trying to say something but I couldn’t understand. So we sang her a hymn and I picked “How Great thou Art” and we sang it and the whole time she was just staring into my eyes and the whole time I was staring into hers. And then after we shared a scripture which is in 1 nefi 21: 13 -16, and after I could just feel the spirit so so strong and as I was baring my testimony I couldn’t help but cry and her husband was crying too and I looked at her and I just said even though she isn’t able to talk she is speaking through her spirit because the spirit speaks to spirit. She is such a special lady that was a very special moment for me and a very spiritual experience for me because even though she couldn’t speak I could hear her perfectly and her saying what we were saying was true! I am very blessed I had that experience! It meant a lot to me!!
So we were going to have a baptism and marriage this Saturday but they want to move it to December 4 but President wants use to fulfill our goal this Saturday so we are not sure what we are going to do because they said that the 4th is better. But if the Lord wants them to be married and baptized this Saturday it will happen! We are going to fast to know what we should do!
But El Jardin is truly great, the members are so eager to work with us and give us references! So that is a blessing. We are really working with the members because it is so much better to work with them because then our investigators already have a friend! I am not sure though if I will be here for much longer we only have 3 more weeks in this cambio and it is hard to believe I am an older missionary. They need older missionaries to be with the younger ones so I am not sure if once again I will have a new companion but either way it will be what the Lord wants!
(You can share this when you share your testimony up at the cabin!)

I love you all am I am so thankful for you all!!! Have the best thanksgiving ever because next year just remember I get to have the turkey leg!! LOL!!! I love you thanks for all your love and support! I want you all to know that each and every one of you is so special to me! I want you to know how thankful I am to have this gospel in my life and that I get to have this very sacred and special opportunity to wear my Saviors name on my chest and testify of him to a world that needs him more than ever!! I know that it is true with every fiber of my being! I am so truly blessed I am able to share this beautiful message with everyone here in Costa Rica and testify that the Lord vive and He loves us and that his gospel is restored! I am so thankful for the prophet Joseph Smith and his courage to follow the spirit and to get on his knees and pray to our loving heavenly father. I am so thankful that through him the priesthood is back on the earth what a beautiful sacred power it is that every worthy man can be able to hold this sacred power and through it bless the lives of others! I am thankful for my forever family that if we all live worthily we can and will live forever with our Father in Heaven and his beloved Son again. I want this more than anything!! I love you, have the best turkey day ever and eat so so much thanksgiving turkey!! I love you, tell everyone hi and I love them and that the CHURCH IS TRUE AND CHRIST LIVES AND BY HIM AND THROUGH HIM EVRYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! I know and testify that Christ lives that he loves us with the purest love there is and he love us so much that he would die for us, He didn’t have to but He did because He loves us!!! I know His hand is in all things and He is the light and life of the world and when our life gets dark and we can’t understand why we have trails and hardship but we need to always look to the light of the world and that through Him we will be able to find true happiness a happiness that will never fade away!!! I love you all thanks for everything you do for me!!!!

Love always and forever

Kaylie's First Transfer

Hola Familia!!
Como Esta!!! Wow sorry I didn’t write on Monday because changes were today and yes I was transferred!! I left San Carlos and my companion and guess what I am opening an area which hasn’t had missionaries!!! So that means my companion and I have to start from scratch because we don’t know the area or the members and we don’t have investigators. It will be hard but the Lord has bigger plans for me. I know that I will grow so much and I will see what type of sister missionary I will be!!

So my companion is named Hermana Mejia and she is from Honduras and she is 26 years old. She is super sweet but she has problems with her leg so she walks a little slower and needs a little more help. But one good thing is she doesn’t speak English and I thought I would never say that but I am so glad because I know that it will help my Spanish a ton. Because with Hermana Vallecillo we spoke in English all the time and my Spanish really went down! So I know I will learn a lot from her not only with the language but with patience and with more charity!

Our area, I think, is called El Jardin! It is about 40 min. outside of San José and it is a city a lot different from San Carlos but it will be good! I am a little nervous just because we dont know anyone but we will soon enough! The elders that are our district leaders are great and are going to help us as much as they can!! I know this will be a great learning experience for me and I will have to step out of my scared box and talk and love the best I possibly know how too!! And I think it will be better as well because Hermana Mejia has another 9 months left. I think that will be good to not be with someone that is kind of trunky and about end their mission!! So Even though I am nervous I know this will be the very best thing for me and I can do this! I can do hard things!!!

As for Hermana Vallecillo she is training her last change a cute little gringa from Idaho and I know they well be great together. I just hope she doesn’t get to trunky with her because that would be so so hard but they both will do great there is San Carlos!!

OH!!!! But as for Jonny he was BAPTIZED and we were teaching him and his brother Oscar and he also was BAPTIZED! It was awesome! The are so great, seriously power houses, and the mom said she wants to be baptized too but she first has to get married! So whoop whoop because that family was incredible. I am sad that I had to leave them! It was sad to say goodbye. They were sad and they gave me cute little stuffed animals so that I would always remember them! It was wonderful to see those two boys in white and I could see them serving missions and doing incredible things in the church because they both have strong testimonies especially Jonny! He pretty much teaches the lessons when we go to their house I know that through his decision of being baptized he will change his families lives forever!

It was hard to say goodbye to my friends in San Carlos! My liders de zona called me on Sunday night and told me I was being transferred. So Monday and Tuesday I was packing and telling everyone goodbye!

But I will write more on Wednesday when I know more about my new area and I can give you more information! But I am not sure how long I will be here for. I think a while but that is ok it will give me more time to know this area and the people here! I know that we will have great success because like you said in your email mom the Lord is with us and he wants us to have success and if we put all our faith in Him he will guide us to those that just have been waiting until there was missionaries here! And guess what? I am here and I want to tell everyone about this Gospel!!! So watch out El Jardin! Hermana Turnbaugh is here and you better just watch out and put on your white clothes because I am ready to tell you about a Love that you have never known!!! lol no But I am excited because I know I will grow and learn more than I ever have!! And I can do all thing in Christ who strengthens me!!

I love you all so much!! I will write soon about my new area on Monday when I know a little more about it!! I love you all! Thanks for your email and your words of encouragement and advice. Thanks for always believing in me!! Your the best family in the world!!!

Love you more than a Costa Rican loves Gallo pinto!!!

Pura Vida

Love always and forever,
Hermana Turnbaugh

Hola Familia!!!

Happy Halloween Yesterday!!! Or Happy Dia de Brujas Aqui!!! But they don’t celebrate Halloween here. They all think it is very satanic so nobody celebrates it. But I did get your cute package and we put up the Halloween stickers and last night I put on the Halloween socks you sent me!!! And I love the shirts! They are so so so cute! So thank you very much!!!!! And I put up the glow in the dark stickers which are so cute. So thank you! It totally made my Halloween!!! But it sounded like you had a fun Halloween. I wish I could have been there and saw all your cute costumes!! Pictures!!!!
As for my week it was pretty good!! We worked hard all week and on Saturday there was a Relief Society activity with carne asada and we invited our investigator Luz. I think she had fun but the sad thing is not a lot of the women talked to her which I dont know why? It was a little discouraging. So, if ever, there are new people in the ward or investigators please please talk to them even if you don’t know what to say, just try! Because that could make or break their church experience!!  So she said that she would come to church but when we went to pick her up she was really sick so hopefully she will come next week and her younger brother Jonny didn’t come as well to church because he had to work but he was so sad that he had to miss it! We put a baptismal goal with him for this Saturday. So we are going to go all this week and prepare him for that. So hopefully he will feel through the Spirit that this is the right way. He has said that he received an answer and that is why he goes to church because he says it feels so good and he knows it is true!! And then we went and checked on him last night and his mom was there. She sat and listened and she had a lot of questions and she said that lately she has been praying really hard to know which church or which way is the Lords way. Which church is true? Because she is so confused on why there are so many different churches on the earth today! And she said a lot of different missionaries and pastors lately have come by her house but she said that none of them felt good to her and she would never let them back. But she said I really like you guys and I feel good when you come to my house and teach my children. So we told and testified that It was the Spirit, helping her to feel that way! Because this the Lords way and he wants you to be happy!! And I could just feel the Spirit so strong testifying that this is true and that she has found the truth! And now she wants to learn more!!! Isn’t that so cool! This family is so awesome!!! I love them! It is a family of 8!! So how amazing if they all would want to be baptized and become a forever family and have happiness not just for now put for eternity!!!

Ahh I love this gospel I can’t even explain how wonderful and how much it can change a persons life only if they let the Spirit touch their hearts! We are going to work so hard with this family!! I just hope I get to see them enter in the waters of baptism before I get transferred because I don’t know but I just feel that I will be transferred this change, so in like a week! But nothing is certain but I am pretty sure my comp. will train because she leaves in December!! So I wish I knew what will happen? It is so hard not to know until two days before changes but I will let you know what happens!!
So tomorrow we are going to San Jose for a big meeting because a member of the Seventy is coming to speak to us. I am so excited about that. I am not sure who it is but I know it will be a very special experience!!

 Oh and did I tell you that I had interviews with President Galvez again! And it was awesome! I just love him. He is such a special man! When I got in there he said, “tell me about your area and everything, problems and all”. And I expressed that last week was tough for me with my Spanish and I was telling him all this in Spanish, then after 15 min he stopped me and said “how many words in english did you say in the last 15 min? I looked at him and said none and he said see Hermana you know Spanish! Your on your way and I understood everything! That made me feel so great!! He is so in tune with the Spirit and he said even if you feel scared and frightened just speak and the Spirit will testify for you because it is not me that is speaking it is the Spirit! That interview really made me feel good!!

Oh and today as a zone we went to a waterfall which was so beautiful!! It was in an area called Graciea and we had a blast! I have some pictures that I am sending you!
But I love you all and I am so thankful for each and everyone of you in my life!! I am so thankful to my Father in Heaven for this perfect gospel!! I am so thankful for prayer and how real it is! It is a way for us to talk to our Father, our Father in Heaven!!! I love Him and I am so thankful to be serving a mission!! I would not change this time in my life for anything!!
I love you!!!
Love always and forever!!
