I have been a member of the Church for 18 years and have always been 100% sure of the choices I made to be baptized and become LDS. I have never once regretted my decision.
I had many questions when I investigated and truly researched whether this was the Church for me. I will never forget the feelings I had when the missionaries visited and shared the gospel with me. I felt as if I had finally come home and felt complete. I wanted to share this feeling with everyone I came in contact with! I wanted them to feel the way I felt.
The Church has changed my life in many ways and I have learned to over come many weaknesses, really bad shyness and realized talents that I never knew I had. I actually never spoke in school- ever! I couldn't even say a prayer long ago, and I have talked in Sacrament, conducted many meetings, and taught in Primary and Young Women.
I have grown in ways I could not have ever imagined and I am truly grateful for the 2 Missionaries that served missions so that I could be taught the gospel.
I do have a testimony of the Church and it's teachings, and I know that my Heavenly Father loves each of us, hears our prayers. I know I am in the right place. and grateful that I have a knowledge of the gospel.
