Well, I always thought I'd be here, but I didn't think it would come this fast. Buenos Dias, I have to start with that 'cause it makes me feel comfortable. I'm sorry. I also have ADHD, so if I ramble on a tangent, I'm also sorry. If it doesn't make sense, it made sense in my brain, so I'm really sorry about that. My mission was awesome; I loved every single second of it. Even when it was hard, I loved it. The mission is the greatest place anyone can ever be in their entire life—until after the mission.
