God bless you! I really hope you change your way of thinking and open your mind to learning, and if not atleast open your eyes to respecting your fellow man.

Riley,

I hope things are going good for you and that you are learning alot from the missionaries in your area. If there is anything you want to talk about or have any questions when they aren’t around feel free to ask.

Thaddeus,

I told the missionaries about meeting you on here right after having met your brother, it’s amazing how people are brought together isn’t it?

General…

I found this site somehow not even sure how, but I felt the need to post my story, which I haven’t shared in whole till I posted it here. As I said before, I am not good at writing, so it wasn’t easy. Just a few days after I posted my story on here the missionaries here asked me to write my story of how I came to believe in the morman religion in a journal, which many people will see in the years to come, and I don’t think I would have been comfortable with that if I hadn’t been given the oppertunity to post it here first. God brings everything into our lives for a reason even if you don’t see it at the time. It may be later in the day, the week, the year, or even many years down the road before you see why God did thing’s the way he did in a certain situation, just rest assured if it happens God has a reason!

A quote I like that I have on my living room wall… God never said life would be easy, He said it would be worth it!!!!!!

I am from Alabama. I lived in south west Alabama for about a year while there was an LDS church being built right up the road from my house, my husband and I were looking for a church to join, and he was interested in finding out what kind of church that was going to be however we didn’t find out at the time. We moved about 10 miles away into an apartment complex and while moving in the neighbors across the hall stopped and without a thought selflessly said I will be right out to help you with that. Our new neighbors helped us get moved in, and started a friendship. About a week later I noticed 2 guys going in thier apartment several times, finaly I asked and found out they were missionaries. They had us over for dinner with the elders, and a short lesson. After that night the elders started coming to our house teaching us and more than anything answering our 100′s of questions. They invited us to church with them, and we started attending to find out that the church we had lived across from was the one we would soon be attending! We ran into some problems however and stopped attending the church but we kept having the missionaries over 3 to 4 times a week. About a week before we were to move back to south east Alabama (and I was sure the lessons would stop then) I found an old friend online. This friend happened to have just gotten home from a mission as an elder in the LDS church and he lived where I was moving to! God meant for me to stay with this church and provided the way! As soon as I moved back here I ran into the elders in walmart and intoduced myself. My family has been having lessons and going to church there since.

I guess this is my story from a different angle

Thaddeus, I wonder if it would be possible to create a link on the home page leading to a compilation of all the conversion stories you have throughout the comments on the website? added testimonials?
