I am currently a FOCUS missionary in Texas. 

Sophomore year of college, I had a radical encounter with Jesus in Eucharistic adoration on a mission trip to Peru, and it changed everything. I was raised Catholic, but that changed everything for me.

I really think Our Lady found me. It’s kind of a mystery, but looking back, I see Her hand in my life.

The first time I came to Medjugorje was 2022, and I truly believe our Blessed Mother led me here. I had this desire to spend time with Our Lady and happened to find out about Medjugorje. It changed everything for me and led me closer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

I think the reason I’m a missionary is because of Our Lady. She helps me so much as a missionary and as an apostle, for Her and for Her Son. 

This place is so divine and heavenly. It’s hard to put it into words. There were so many providential moments, only the Lord and Our Lady could ordain.

I asked visionary Mirjana a question, if she had ever seen the Blessed Virgin Mary’s teeth before. Her response to that was that She has a soft smile and that She has joy, but She wants all of Her children under Her mantle. 

I’m super grateful for my experience here. 

I will be asking the Immaculate Heart of Mary for Her heart to love. I think the graces you receive here are unlike anything else so I just want to delight in these graces.

I hope Our Lady invites me back. I love it here so, so much. I definitely desire to come back, but I also want it to be from Our Lady and an invitation from Her.

I am heading to Portugal and I’m going to Fatima next. So I am super excited to spend time there with Our Lady in Fatima.
