Following Jesus in the Dominican Republic
Meet Camila!
How Camila Follows Jesus
Camila follows Jesus Christ by having faith during hard times. When her parents got divorced, Camila was sad. She turned to Heavenly Father, and He helped her feel comfort. “He showed me love during that time,” Camila says.
Camila also loves to read her scriptures. “It helps me feel good and learn things,” Camila says. “Reading the scriptures helps me learn right from wrong.” Camila likes to read the scriptures for home evening with her grandmother.
