  hello everyone! it's me again woot woot!  here are some of the highlights and fun times from this week hehe: -THE TEMPLE! oh my goodness. This temple is a dream. Serving here in San Diego literally makes me so happy because I literally have the prettiest temple in my mission. We could see the angel moroni from inside one of the rooms and it was just so uplifting. The light of the temple really brings peace into your life. I also have the opportunity to go with my district on July 20th and I'm so so so excited to be inside this beautiful castle again :,)) -NEW MISSIONARY!! im in a trio yall!
