This morning we woke up early to go to the Orlando temple for the first time! It was gorgeous inside and out and it reminded us a lot of the Dominican Republic temple. On our way in Jarem commented that he knew we would see someone from Puerto Rico and sure enough we did!!! We saw Leoncito and Bishop Morales from the Juncos branch (now a ward) where both of us had served at different times!! I instantly started crying as seeing them brought back a flood of wonderful memories! Then I thought of how proud I had been for sacrificing some sleep to be there and how they had sacrificed so much more! They were some of the valiant ones that Jarem and I served side by side with and loved so much. As we talked on the drive home Jarem and I agreed that after our family the best blessing we have ever recieved is the chance we had to serve in PR. It was such a tender mercy that we ran into them and it reminded us of the testimonies we bore and the blessings we promised as missionaries. We just love missionary work and PR even more!
