I have attended church from the time I was a little girl. I was raised in a Baptist home. At the age of 13, I accepted Christ in my heart. I felt whole, for a while. I slowly moved away from God as I grew older. Once I graduated high school I stopped going altogether. I had been a few times since then. About 3 years ago I met a woman that just happened to be my next door neighbor. We became very good friends. She is the first Mormon believer I’ve met. She invited me to her church and so I went. I in turn, invited her to mine and she came. We are now room mates. On Saturday night, the missionaries came to give her daughter the discussions so she can be baptized. I sat in on the discussions and participated. I could really feel the spirit around me. The spirit has not left, but yet only grown stronger. Last night my friend and I were discussing our different beliefs as far as religion went. I can testify that as we were discussing this I knew the spirit was telling me that the Mormon church is the true church. I had felt the spirit before a few times, but never this strongly! We were speaking of the temples and how it’s so amazing that other churches have been destroyed, but the temples have never been touched. I am starting the missionary discussions tomorrow night so I can also be baptised. I feel an immense peace inside of me that I have never felt before, and it is a feeling I know I can never go without again. I trully feel in my heart, that God brought my friend and I together so I could learn the truth. This is my testimony. The Holy Ghost is real. God is real. The priesthood is real. The Mormon church is true! I can never deny these things, for I feel them in my heart and I can’t wait to finish my journey through this world with the truth!
