Hermana Ashley Samantha Pachner has been preparing for this day for almost her entire life and yet there is a little trepidation as she hugs mom one last time. The next 18 months will be challenging and help from mom and dad will be limited to weekly emails and bi-annual skype sessions but nevertheless, she will go forward with faith knowing that she is fulfilling a Heavenly Mission. This blog will chronicle the adventures of Hermana Pachner throughout her mission!
