SUBJECT: My story
LOCATION: Seguin, United States
There has never been a time in my life that I did not believe in Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I have always felt their presence and their strength and love. But growing up in a different faith left my with convictions not taught there. Convictions that I knew in my heart were true.

When I was a teenager I wanted to be baptized like Christ was, by immersion. Later as a young woman I left the church I had belonged to all my life and started reading the Bible. Reading in the New Testament I wished to belong to a Church that was like the Church Christ set up during his ministry here. Later in life I longed for the guidance of a Prophet as of old. I thought that we needed a Prophet just as badly as they did in olden days.

The first time I stepped into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints builing I was overcome with the strong feeling of the Spirit. I could not stop crying. I cried the whole time I was there. No matter what I did or how hard I tried I could not stop crying. When I feel the Spirit strongly that still happens. I love the Holy Ghost!

A couple of weeks later I was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. All of the longings were fulfilled. I was baptized by immersion, I found Christ's Church restored and to my amazement found that we do have a Prophet on the Earth today. I could not believe I had been living with these wonderful things and had never heard! Not only that, but all of the questions I had all of my life were answered and the truthfulness of all of my unsubstantiated convictions was realized.

If you really want to know the truth, if you have the courage to take that step, and you will need courage as this is a life altering, eternal committment, you too can know the truthfullness of this His Church and the Book of Mormon.

I love Him with all my heart and I love you too my brothers and sisters. Come to Him and find true joy. A joy like you have never known!
