Valentine Pavia shares his story of facing and overcoming his addiction to alcohol. He talks of his mother’s love and support and prayers and the impact they had on him, and how his own prayers were answered — how he received help to have a better life. Missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints came to his house and the message they brought helped him turn his life around.
Thank you for sharing a deeply moving story. This young man and his story are beautiful to behold and listen to. He is an example of early wisdom and a testimony to the power of a mother’s devotion. I believe that many others will be inspired to change for the better by the courage of Valentine and a desire to share the joy that he so clearly exemplifies.
