Read or listen to Maria G. P.’s full oral history. Original interview in Spanish. An English translation is also available.

Oh no sister, I don’t know if I have answered them appropriately, I don’t have that I have had many stories, the only thing I really know is that the gospel has changed my life ever since I accepted it. I know that he always blesses me, and I am never alone. If at any moment I have been away from him, in my life, it has been due to my decisions. That is all I can say, that it has been marvelous to be a part of the church and I think that sometimes we may see our leaders falter and others ask, “why would I go if they don’t?”

I don’t go for the people, I know why I am going-nobody’s perfect, God loves us all. I am blessed my Heavenly Father loves, me I know he does, thanks to him and the gospel I know families and people that are very special that are not my family by blood, like you, many sisters, right, but I know that I will never be alone. I am so blessed to know you and other families and sisters, and I hope in the same manner the times that I am able to help you and others the same way I have been helped, I try with the little that I have to help.
