It all started in 2018, I was 20 years old, when I made the decision to serve as a full-time missionary for two years.
I felt excited and at the same time nervous, this meant that once the process started there would be no turning back.

I decided to leave the hotel to walk and buy some fast food and some sweets. I didn't know the way back from the hotel, I was scared because I was disoriented. Later I asked a police officer for help and asked him how to get back to the hotel.
