well  i have  been a  member  of the  lds  church for  a  little  over  a  year  and  everyone  is  surprised  at how  far  i  have  come.
every  fast  and  testimony  meeting  i get  up and  bear  my  testimony   and  it  is  hard  for  me  because  i  get  really  nervous  going  in front  of  all those  people  but  my  heavenly  father  is  there  with me.   i know  that  my  heavenly  father  loves  me.
when i  think i have  failed  i remember  that  my  heavenly  father  doesn't  think that i am a  failure.   when i  first became  a  member  of the  church on 2/21/07    i  became  inactive shortly after  being  confirmed  a  member  of  the  church until  august of  2007  when these  two sister  missionaries  were  persistant  on getting  me  to come  back to church now  i am active  again and  i attend  mutual  every  week.   i also go out  with the  sister  missionaries  and  get the  chance bear  my  testimony.    i  am thankful for  this  church and the  young  men and  women that take  time  out  of  their  lives  to serve  missions.

especially  thank you  to all those  missionaries  from the  maryland  baltimore  mission  who have  helped   me  on my  journey as a  new  member of the  church.
