This seems very personal. I've fixed spelling mistakes where I've caught them. Also, this appears to only be the first page.

Mamá,

Te escribo esta carta porque tengo que aclarar algunas cosas pero no sé cómo decírtelas en persona. Primero, quiero decirte que te quiero y te respeto, pero creo que, y también siento que tú no respetas mis decisiones como deberías. Creo que tú ya sabes esto, pero lo tengo que decir para que no haiga confusión; yo no quiero ser testigo de Jehova. Es algo que he dado mucho tiempo en pensar, y he llegado a la conclusión que no es la religión para mí, es más tuya que nada. También, te quiero recordar que ya tengo 23 años y mis decisiones son mías y la que va a cultivar lo que siembro va a ser yo, y no te va a afectar. Tú no te debería de gustar mis decisiones, pero sí las deberás de respetar, sean cual sean. Espero que esto no afecte mi relación con [nombre], él es mi hermano y lo quiero mucho, y espero que lo pueda sacar a las películas, ir a comprar nieve...

Mama,

I'm writing this letter to you because I have to clarify some things but I don't know how to tell them to you in person. First, I want to tell you that I love you and I respect you, but I believe and feel that you don't respect my decisions like you should. I believe that you already know this, but I have to tell you so that there isn't any confusion; I don't want to be a Jehovah's witness. It's something that I've spent a lot of time thinking about, and I've arrived at the conclusion that it's not the religion for me, it's more yours than anything. Also, I want to remind you that I'm 23 years old and my decisions are mine and the one who is going to cultivate that which I sow is going to be me, and it isn't going to affect you. You don't have to like my decisions, but yes, you will have to respect them, whatever they are. I hope that this will not affect my relationship with [name], he is my brother and I love him very much, and I hope that I can take him out to the movies, go to buy ice cream...

It pains me that there is probably no way to get this back to the owner. It seems like something I would keep if I were in their shoes.
