And Straight on 'Till Morning

My last post was about deciding to go on a mission. I'm really happy about that decision, and it's benefited my life in many ways, but the one I want to talk about is the most unexpected.

Some of the pieces were kind of weird (okay most of them were mostly weird), but we had three favorites.
