I love going to concerts, musicals, all types of shows, and going to the movies, A LOT. I still believe in snail mail and love writing letters, especially because it’s how most of the saints communicated in the past. (Oh and also, I LOVE ALL THE SAINTS.) I am currently blessed to serve as the Coordinator of Hispanic Youth & Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Des Moines in the great state of Iowa.
