“I was fortunate enough to be born into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But, I wasn’t born into my testimony. There was never one pivotal moment that helped me become converted, it is more of a collection of moments that all together created my conversion. When I was about 6 or 7Continue reading “EIGHTY TWO”

“I was raised in the church, in a home with loving parents. My parents both had callings growing up that allowed them to help guide and direct me spiritually both at home and at church. I remember them at many Wednesday night activities, young women church camps, youth conferences, and church dances. My conversion startedContinue reading “EIGHTY ONE”

“I believe conversion isn’t an event, it’s a process. So if I were to tell you how I became converted, it’d be my entire life. But there are a few parts that are more significant to me than others. One of which is when I got my mission call. I had been planning to serveContinue reading “EIGHTY”

“My story starts when I was 12 years old. I was hiking trails and putting up tents at girls camp, when I wondered what church was true. I looked around and it seemed like all the girls could say “I know this is the true church” , but I would shy away. It wasn’t untilContinue reading “SEVENTY NINE”

“My story starts at a young age. I was born and raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Everything I knew growing up was the church.

I prayed at a young ageContinue reading “SEVENTY SEVEN”

“I was actually raised as a member of this church, but conversion is much more than merely being a member.  I recall several distinctive experiences in my early life that helped me recognize that I had something deep inside me that pulled me toward our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.  The first wasContinue reading “SEVENTY SIX”

“The thing I have come to realize more than anything else during my life is that we will never have all of the answers. That is especially true when it comes to the gospel. I was born into the church, to amazing parents with strong testimonies. Although that helped shape my view from a youngContinue reading “SEVENTY FIVE”

“My conversion story seemed small and simple as it happened, that I even had told some fellow young missionaries during our time at the Missionary Training Center that I wished I had not had the Gospel in my life growing up so my conversation experience could be more dramatic.  My testimony of the Gospel andContinue reading “SEVENTY FOUR”

“Growing up we went to church every Sunday, and my family was very active in the church. Around 14 we stopped going. Throughout the years my girls and I have attended other churches, but something was always missing. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has truly changed my life. Without a doubtContinue reading “SEVENTY THREE”
