When I think about LAUARA this verse comes to mind !
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.”

Salir de su país natal a tan temprana edad dejando atrás a sus progenitores y con ello un mundo el cual jamás se volvería a ver, debe haber sido una experiencia muy difícil, que solo personas valientes como Laura pudieran enfrentar. Un salad de respite y admiración para los miembros de la familia García- Arnaiz ,que pudieron superar esta dura prueba y dejaron un gran ejemplo de vida. Bendiciones.
