It was just a normal day at school for Anna. She was in class with her friends working on the work their teacher had just gave them. 

Suddenly, her teachers phone starts to ring. It's someone from the office. 

"Please tell Anna that her aunt will be picking her up today. Her mother has went missing."

The whole way home all Anna could think about was what had happened to her mom. She knew her mom wouldn't just disappear like that and felt the need to start looking for her as soon as she could. 

As soon as she walked through the door into her house she went straight to looking for clues about her mom. She needed anything that looked out of the ordinary to start her off.

What are you trying to do?

I need to find some kind of clue from her. 

Anna had found a note from her mom hidden under the couch. She automatically knew this was the clue she was looking for. 

what does it say?

Let's read it. 

Anna and her aunt both read the note to see what her mother had to say to her. She knew there had to be a good explanation on why she would just leave.

There's something I have to do before I am able to come home. I have left you hints to where I will be in the places we talk about most. The first place is where we've been planning to go this summer. I need your help but you have to find me first. 

                    - Mom

Anna realized that her mom was talking about a church in Italy that they had talked about visiting. She had soon set off to go find her mother.

Many trains, busses, and plane rides later Anna arrived in Italy. She then had to find the Church they had been talking about in order to get closer to finding her mother. 

When she walked in she saw a man that looked like he was waiting for her. He was holding a giant paper with the ten commandments written on it. 

He told her that in order to get the next location she would have to read and try to understand why the ten Commandments were created. 

She explained to the man that the ten commandments were given from God to show what he wants from his people and what he's like (DeYoung). They tell us what really matters to him. 

Since Anna was able to learn about the Ten Commandments and understand, the man hands her another note from her mother talking about where she went after the church.

I know you don't like that I'm sending you on a chase for me but it will all be worth it in the end. I've now gone to the place we talked about going to next winter break. You will have to learn more here so be prepared again.

                    - Mom 

Anna showed up in India next because she and her mom talked about traveling to India during the winter time. She didn't know why her mom chose here but she would figure it out very soon. 

This time there was a lady waiting for Anna. She explained to her that she has to learn about why Buddhism is important to people and how the religion is seen to help you. 

She was able to find some Buddhists and ask them why their religion was so important to them. 

They told her that Buddha has taught them ways to overcome their limitation and realize their true potential ("Study Buddhism").
