La Region Hispana - Unidos Somos Fuertes

I stood alone for a long time.  Alone in my beliefs and alone in my culture.  I stood,  stumbled,  tripped,  and with my Heavenly Father's help got back up again.  I discovered that  I could not actually stand alone.   It is difficult to be the only sober person in a room,  just like it is difficult to be the only Obama supporter in a room full of white republicans.  Standing alone is next to impossible.  That's where Heavenly Father comes in. During my time in China I missed home.  I missed the feeling of being home.  I missed feeling like I belonged somewhere.  I missed being with people that were similar to me and understood me when I switched to Spanish in order to be able to express myself completely.  I missed La Region Hispana. Belonging to this group is what got me through college and has helped shape me into who I am today.  Serving my brothers and sisters in my respective callings helped me discover that I was not alone,  and never had been.  Countless experience
