Elder Gutierrez (r), from Stamford CT, stayed with Elder Tua’itanu (l) Tuesday night in the shed, during an exchange with the Echo Ward where he serves as a Spanish-speaking missionary. While here he enjoyed a taste of home - 'New York'-style cheesecake : )
Gutierrez, 22, finishes his two-year mission at the end of this month and has enrolled at Utah Valley University, Orem UT, where he’ll major in business administration.
He said he leaves with sweet memories of California, including Corcoran, the first area he served in.
“That first night I couldn’t get to sleep. It was way too quiet,” said Gutierrez, whose hometown is 30 minutes from New York City.
“All night long I'm waiting for some city noise or an ambulance siren, but nothing. I never knew quiet could be that loud before!”
After graduation, Gutierrez plans to work on Wall Street where he probably won’t have that problem.
