I am a convert to the church of 46 years come February, 08. My wife and I joined the church togather. We have 4 girls, 3 of which were my wife's by previous marriges. I have on biological daughter. We had been married just under a year when we joined the church. Had we not joined the church we would not be togather today. At some point in time, I will tell the story of our conversion.

Upon having the Stake Misssionaries teach us the lessons we were baptized and started a new life. That in it self is another story. We both knew and had testimony of the church, although adapting to it's new way of life, was a very big change for us.

Being baptised on Saturday, February third, on Sunday being confirmed members of the church, I left for a 3 month schooling 3,000 miles away from home. This, in my case was a blessing, as I did not have to face my co-workers, and friends with a new set of standards to live by.

As earlier stated, we knew the gospel was true, and acted upon that knowlege and testimoney. Over the year's since, and immediately, following our baptism, the gospel has be a source of strength and support for our family. Another stroy to be told in the future.

I know that God, our Heavenly Father Live's, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and our Redeemer. That Joseph Smith did see and spoke to our God, and recieved the Everlasting Gospel and Priesthood for the establishment of the Kingdom here upon the earth. And I bear witness to this in the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen
