The last two months of Elder McBrides mission he was working in the mission offices in Bogota and undergoing medical treatment. He was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and has knee and back pain. The doctors in Bogota felt he needed to come home for further treatment. Before he left for home Jared was able to fly with his mission president to Leticia one of his favorite areas. Jared has been home a month and has seen many doctors and continues to improve. Unfortunately their is no quick fix so Jared will not be going back to Colombia and has been honorably released from his mission.
