We met at....That's Right... Keep Reading.....
                                                           
  DISNEYLAND!!!!!!
   I asked for the time... he spoke to me in his Australian Accent... and...
 WE fell in love!
                  
      (August 2nd 2010 at "The World of Color" at Disneyland Adventure Park)
                   After many long months (3 months)... of Skyping...
 We decided we wanted to see where it would go.....
                            
 The only problem was.... he liked to party.... I didn't...so I introduced him to The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints...
                                  He took discussions on his own in Australia, read the Book of Mormon for himself to see if the church was true... and converted to Christ by being Baptised in his true and living church today...
