Hey mom!

So this week I have had a lot of time to kind of just sit and think and I just want to say thank you. I know that you have done so much for me in the past 18 years of my life. I don't feel like I have thanked you enough for that. I don't know if I ever will be able to haha. You have been one of the greatest examples to me when it comes to doing what is right. You say a lot that you didn't go on a mission and that you couldn't couldn't on a mission, and whole you didn't receive a physical call and get set apart, your mission has been your whole life. Because of your faith and your testimony and having the church be apart of my life I grew a testimony myself. I don't really know how to say/type how grateful I am for you and for what you have done. You've taught me how to have patience with me and with others. How to work hard and to realise that there are difficulties I life. But you have always believed in me and have hoped me to get through those difficulties. You have taught me that a mother always knows best, and I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you more often. I definitely should have. 

I love you mom and I am so thankful for you and your example and for everything that you have done for me. 

Love you, 

Elder Garcia
