"I just like to smile. smiling's my favorite!"-Buddy the elf

My name is Linaya. I am adopted from Vietnam. I grew up in the Evergreen State, Washington state for 8 years. My family moved in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment. And yes, NM is a part of the United States. After graduating from high school, I felt God calling me into ministry and attended Concordia University Irvine studying theology in the DCE program.
