Naelly Lavanda

I was born in Ecuador in a non religious family, when I was 6 I moved in Italy, a place that became my first home. At the age of 10 I met the missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints and got baptized a few months later. I served a mission in the Rome, Italy mission, where I had the privilege to serve 10 months in the Rome visitor center. Recently I decided to start a podcast in Italian for the members of the church here in Italy, it’s called “Mano nella Mano” which means “hand in hand” and my mission is to inspire others while we walk hand in hand with God and our Savior Jesus Christ
