My Journey Has Begun

Bogotá Colombia Temple 

Mom,

My journey has begun. My life's purpose has always been to help people at all times and bring the gospel of Jesus Christ unto the children of God. My faith in Christ has always helped me understand the Book of Mormon and you helped me as well. Without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today. The Colombia MTC is a great place of peace and joy, along with guidance and help in preaching the gospel in spanish. The missionaries here are great disciples of Christ. They help me progress in the Doctrine of Christ and give me guidance as a missionary. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve the Church and Heavenly Father. Our family has been such a great foundation for me. You have always taught me the purpose of life and I'm thankful for your example. I know two years is a long time, but you are right, the people of Ecuador need me. Just like I needed you for 18 years to progress in the gospel, be baptized, have a true testimony of Joseph Smith and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. You have truly fulfilled your purpose by being such a phenomenal Mom who cares, loves, nourishes, and guides her children to succeed and endure to the end. I love you so much and I can't wait to share with you what comes my way as a missionary!!!!
