Amiga Mia!

This past week one of my Chilean companions from my mission flew in from Chile to pay us a visit. We became really close while we were companions, and during that time together she made me a promise that she would one day visit me in the USA. After years of saving she was finally able to do it. We had good time catching up and remembering good times from the mission, I had a bit of a trying time brushing up on my Spanish though!


I was able to get away for a night with her and go to The Blue Man Group that was performing in Dallas. It was an amazing performance that was well worth it. If I were to go again I would definitely try and get tickets right in front of the stage where the people have to wear ponchos!


I was worried about her being around MJ with the language barrier, but I was very surprised to see how well they got along. They both adored each other. It was very neat to see them connect so well when they didn't even speak the same language.


The connection between the 2 was so strong that the day before my companion flew home she asked if she could get professional pictures taken of her with MJ. I was a bit surprised but it was what she wanted. It worked out nice though that I was also able to get some 2 year shots done of MJ.

Your little girl is such a doll. I love those pictures and her little tutu. So cute.

Yes, these are very nice. I love that she's wearing her punk-rocker skirt.
