Who I am is because of what I believe. Since I was a little girl, my grandmother used to take me to church. At first I did not like going to church, I thought it was the most boring thing to do. Little by little I was able to understand and to see the importance of going to church and how beneficial it was all the things that I was learning. At home, my grand mother taught me to be an honest person, a person with values but most important, a charitable person. She taught me how to behave in front of other people, but also how to behave when no one else was around me. She taught me almost everything that I know, and I can say that I am the person who I am now because of her. She was and still is the biggest influence in my own life, and because of her I want to be better every single day. Another thing that influenced me was church. I learned spiritual things for example believing that there is a God, that Jesus Christ is real and that he really died for me.
What I know is that this life can be hard some times, but as long as I trust in God, and put my faith in him that he can help me, I know that he will be able to help me through those times. Having faith in Christ has helped me to view things in a positive way, even when I don’t think it is possible. Also my dilemma is that you need to Work Hard and HAVE FUN! I believe that if you are not having fun, then you are not enjoying life. We have such a great opportunity to live and experience so many good things and we need to take advantage of it. Life is beautiful and we are here to be happy and to enjoy the beauty of this earth. How grateful I am for having my own agency, because if I am not happy it is because I choose not to. Isn’t life this so simple? I think we make it so complicated.
Now I know that there is a plan prepared for all of us and that all we have to do is “be human”. Now be a human? Yeah I did not know what that meant until I actually studied it and what is a human being anyway? Well we know that definition for a human is that humans are not perfect. Now I am not perfect but I can always try my best. How do I try my best? I do it by putting in practice what I have learned and always believing in God and of course trying to be happy.

Karla I love the story of your Grandmother, she seems like such a wonderful lady. I also enjoyed your testimony, I know that your testimony has touched the lives of others, not just as a missionary, but also through your example. I know that this is true, because you are a great example to me, and you help me to strengthen my testimony. Karla, you are so sweet, and so kind, and so loving. I love you to death. I also know that this church is true.
