All About Mormons

To anyone who is reading this…

I am not sure how to begin so I will just start talking. About my conversion… Unfortunately I cannot say that I was truly converted upon baptism. However there are several factors that aided in my conversion. My very best friend of nearly 18 years has been such a strong example to me. I joined the church in a time of my life that I was going through abuse with my former step mother and various harrassments with the kids in school so at that time it was hard to see (yes I do mean “see”) the Godhead’s hands in my life. Later in life I got married to a man that was very physically abusive to me and he wanted nothing to do with the church and although he had been baptized he did not practice. When I left my ex husband I met the love of my life who is currently serving a mission. His choice to serve a mission has greatly benefited my life. It has not only helped me by teaching me how to grow in the gospel on my own but it has also taught me that everyone in the church whether they are called to serve a mission or just regular members, we are all missionaries. I love the gospel and my Heavenly Father so dearly and that love just keeps growing because with every day that passes I feel them stronger. I suffered another trial last month as my father passed away. They suspected he had normal pressure hydro-sephilus. Which in English translates to water on the brain. I am not only his only daughter but I am his only child. The passing of my dad threw me for a loop that was unexpected. Although I have experienced loss before, i.e. Grandparents and such, nothing could have prepared me for this. My dad was my hero. I was a daddy’s girl my entire life. And so upon his passing I felt abandoned, and orphaned by my dad and forsaken by our Heavenly Father. But now I have seen that my dad is no longer suffering and that he has a stronger hand in my life now than he did when I was growing up. I am grateful for the trials that I go through in my life because they help me grow. I know this church is true because before I joined the church I had nothing. No faith, no hope, no joy, nothing. Now I am so happy in my life and grateful for my beloved Heavenly Father, Savior, and the holy spirit. Anyone who may be concerned with the validity of our church I can personally assure that any testimony you hear from any member is from our Heavenly Father. Every testimony you hear, is spoken through the spirit, and the love and faith our members have. I would just like to say thank you to anyone and everyone for investigating our church, I can assure you that you will never look at things the same way. Your vision will be widened and your heart will be open. Once the knowledge of the gospel has entered your heart and mind your life will never be the same, and if that means you have more hope in the things that lacked it before, that is the light of Christ entering you heart. I say these things in the name of our beloved Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
