HELLO!!
First off, I want to clarify my feelings for Colombia because I think some of you may be a bit confused. I love Colombia and the people of Colombia. Now, just like any other country in the world there are many different types of people. Some who do drugs, rob, murder, and other things that are not the best and others who are extremely kind, generous, and are very good people. Now, if what I shared in my last email offended any of you, I am extremely sorry and I apologize. I did not mean to offend you or degrade Colombia. Colombia is beautiful and has many, many amazing people who are so prepared for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope that if you were confused before you can now see that I think Colombia is amazing and sometimes things happen, just like in any other country.
Anyway, this week was awesome because I finally finished the Book of Mormon and gained a testimony of its truthfulness. I invite everyone to read and pray about it because I know it has the power to change your life. I am so grateful for the mission and all of the things I get to learn through the hard and fun times. I love you all so much and am so grateful for all of your prayers and support!! Sorry this is short and if I didn't answer to your email, I had a super short amount of time today. Adios!
