Puerto Rico: Family Life

I like to color, draw, paint, read, and do puzzles—every type of puzzle. But I love to cook and to eat. Especially bacon. I love everything that has to do with the kitchen—minus washing the dishes!

I use my cell phone or an iPad to play the music for the hymns in sacrament meeting. It’s actually my calling. I only get nervous when something goes wrong and I have to talk to the congregation to explain it. Normally it’s very easy—I just plug in the cable and play the music.

My testimony comes from all the prophets I’ve come to know. Joseph Smith, Thomas S. Monson (1927–2018), and Russell M. Nelson. Hearing the prophets’ testimonies feels really nice. When I heard President Nelson speak about reading the Book of Mormon, I felt peaceful. And then I started reading the Book of Mormon, and I felt it again. Everything fits. It feels real. I also felt that feeling when my family went to the temple.
