Wichita Falls, Texas

So before we go home we are going to take sometime and enjoy Wichita Falls, Texas, they have some fun area's that I would like to see!  And Elder Gibson is amazing he would take me anywhere and patiently wait while I explore, and take photo's.  I truly am blessed to have the opportunity to share eternity with my best friend and partner.
