First family Sunday on the 20th!
Posted On 05/09/2012 09:44:41 by ashleybstarr
I FINALLY got half my Sundays off. I have been praying about it so much and over this past year I have been doing so much soul searching and trying to determine if my heart was in the right place. I have wanted to join the LDS church for so long but I always worried it was for the wrong reasons. I was concerned that I wanted to be a part of a group that had similar ideas and beliefs as me so that the people I surrounded my family and myself with were conservative and had faith. But what faith was the right one?! As a Protestant for so long I felt that if I chose the wrong church that had the "Wrong Jesus", lol, that God would ignore me. My family and I even went with our JW friends to their Kingdom Hall on a number of occasions recently. I think I just needed to make sure. Then it was like a gentle whisper and a feeling of warmth. I felt like God was saying to me that I needed to see where my heart was and I believe it is with the Latter Day Saints. Soon I should get full Sundays off but for now I get until 1p.m and the Church is a five minute walk from my work so no problem! I am excited!!

HI Lynn. How long were you a JW for? What made you convert? Well I have been friends with a couple who lived on our street for about 4 years. I worked with the wife briefly too, that is how we first met. I have gone to two conventions and I have gone to thier church a handful of times. We spent a lot of time together just doing family stuff. I am not sure if they will be able to spend time with us if we are baptised LDS but I know I need to follow my heart.
Can you tell me about your experience and what led you to believe in the Book of Mormon?
Thank you.

Ashley

Congrats!!! I think sometimes small steps of faith are better than big leaps, LOL!!! :) Enjoy, I know you will. Did you visit the JWs much? I am a former JW. Joined the LDS in September 2011. Nice to meet you!
