My first introduction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints came from a very unexpected source. I had attended a protestant Bible camp in Northern Maine, and began to hear anti mormon statements. I became curious and actually at one point prayed that I would have an opportunity to debate with missionaries. That opportunity came a few months later. Yet as hard as I tried to argue, I felt the warmth of the Spirit touch my heart. I knew that the church was true and could not deny it. I was what the missionaries referred to as a golden contact. I also began to question the protestant church I was attending. If this church was wrong, why all the fuss? I was baptized on 21 December 1985. Unfortunately a few months later I went inactive. It wasn’t until I enlisted in the Marines that I became active in the church again for a very short time. In 1993, I decided enough was enough, and that I needed to return to church activity. Even when I was inactive and attending other churches, I knew that this church was true, and that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God. There was no denying it.
