Valentin Pavia was born in Mexico City. When he was 8 years old his father wanted a better life for him, so his family moved to the United States. When he was 15 years old, he started to drink heavily. Not too long after, the police started to know who he was and knew to search for both alcohol and drugs. He ended up in jail as a result. After his first time in jail, he was determined to not go back. But that didn’t happen. The addiction was too strong, and he ended up going back to jail for three months. Valentin knew he probably would not be alive if it were not for his mother and her prayers. He knew he needed to change. He started praying for help to get over his addictions. A few weeks later the missionaries arrived at his door. Instead of seeing the future with gloom, Valentin can look at it with happiness and hope. Valentin is a hard worker, sober, and a Mormon.

I´m a recovered drug and alcohol addict. I overdosed dozens of times and hurt so many people. The Gospel and Jesus Christ helped me find the good will to change and save my life. I thought that the Lord would never love me and would never accept me back in the church... He proved me wrong!!! My testimony is that Jesus loves us no matter what we´ve done, and if we repent, He loves us even more!!! I thank the Lord for all the blessings He gives me everyday.
Wow, what a great kid! Amazing what answers to prayers can do.
Hits very close to home. As I continue on this journey my belief increases that the most
joy that we can experience is through living as God would have us live.
We can do hard things.
A true testament of not giving up when hope is seemingly lost. Addictions can be overcome through the atonement of Jesus Christ, one step at a time.
I do cry for my sins. my sins are of drinking
very cool
