my dad is an inactive member for about 25 years i knew he grew up mormon but never thought anything of it, my grandparents are converts as well, they are still active, they are unable to attend church because my grandpa is disabled, all my dads brothers and sisters are inactive except my aunt mo who i am very close to she has recently become active again her and her 9 year old son, i was making alot of mistakes, drinking smoking pot , having sex , doing stuff with guys and sneaking out, lying to my parents and stuff i was going through alot, i felt really alone (still kinda do) i lost my bestfriend, i struggle with depression anxiety and bipolar so all of this felt like to much for me to handle i lost alot of friends i kept getting played by guys and heart broken especially this one guy who was having sex with another girl behind my back, me and my parents got into scream fights almost every night so i started spending the night at my aunt mos house every Saturday or Friday, the missionary's stopped by every Saturday because she is going through a divorce and they would teach lessons to my cousin, so i started to sit in on the lessons and ask questions and stuff but it was kinda just something i did i wasn't planning on doing anything about it, so as a month passed my life got harder and i felt more lonely, and on Easter the missionary's stopped by and we got to talking and i mentioned i used to go to youth group and i said that i didnt like it because i felt that the people there faked their relationship with god and just went cuz they could and i felt they picked and choosed what they wanted to teach and so they were like you should try going to our youth group its really funn i think you would like it just try it everyone there is great , so i prayed about it and god told me i should go, so i went and i had a blast and for about half a month i went to just youth group and then i started going to church every sunday as well i prayed to god asking if this church was the right one for me and he said yes , so about 3 months later elder rohle asked me if i wanted to get baptized with my cousin before he transferred, i had this overwhelming feeling come over me and i almost started crying and i decided right then that that wass god telling me i was ready to do it and 3 weeks later keep in mind i was only at my aunts house wednesdays and saturday and sunday so we cramped lessons in and i tried to remember to read my scriptures so on june 21st i had youth conference i was there all day and then on the 22 i was there again from 8 am to 330 at that time i left to go get baptized it was the most amazing spiritual thing to ever happen in my life, i cried like a baby and i didnt stop almost all day, after my baptism i went back to youth conference and i gave my testimony i cried some more and someone told me that i was perfect at that moment and i will forever and always follow god which is why i wanna Mormon boyfriend but i cant seem to find one oh well at least i have god this isnt much of a story much less a inspireing story but it means the world to me, this story is big for me :)
