Sister Adriana Cassani

So I decided to grow my hair out since it costs $30 for a haircut around here at the cheap places.. On the way down to Daniel's in San Diego (I saw this huge building wrapped like a present,  I got permission to leave the mission for a few days so I could take Daniel to the hospital for his surgery on November 20th. I also stayed with him while he recouped. So Monday night to the following Sunday morning.
