All About Mormons

I did not have any idea that I would be a mormon and active after 38 years. At 16, I spent a year of my life going to all the churchs in my area of Tenn. During that time, I became a born again Christian and determined that after my quest I would return to that church and become a minister of the gospel there. I had 3 of the weirdest churchs to attend still and one of those was the LDS church. I had been told alot of strange things about the “mormons” but when I attended their church none of what I was told was true. This pricked my interest, to see why people would say such terrible things about such a good people. The missionaries were invited to my home and I took the lessons with guarded interest. When the Book of Mormon was introduced, I told them that they could not teach me from that book. I would only accept the Bible. They agreed. The lessons went very well, and it seemed as if I had known these things all my life though I was never taught them that I could remember. When I was challanged to be baptised, I challanged them to prove to me that they were telling me the truth. Elder Clark wisely stated that he could not prove anything to me, but he knew someone that could. At that, they reminded me about prayer and I committed to pray to my Father in Heaven for an answer. It was 2 nights later, by myself by my bed that I asked God the Father if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the true church. It started as a small fire in my heart and continued to grow until my body was consumed with the Holy Ghost. All my doubts, all my questions, all my fears were swept away and I knew that my Father in Heaven had heard my prayer. The next Sunday, I told the missionaries what had happened and that I would be baptised but not yet. I still had 2 more churchs to attend, even though I knew which church was true. The next Sunday, I was in the Methodist church in Sparta Tenn. pondering my problem. Should I continue my quest even though I knew which church is true or not. Half way through the ministers sermon, a voice came to my mind saying “What are you doing here, did I not tell you which church is mine?” I was shocked and ashamed. The following Sunday I found myself with the saints in Cookeville Tenn and never regreted that decision. I know that the LDS church is the restored church of Jesus Christ and am honored to add my testimony with all the rest of the saints that it is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

PS I have studied ancient Christian history and have found many of the plain and precious things that were first lost then restored by the prophet Joseph Smith. As for the Book of Mormon, I cant get enough of that book. It fills my soul with peace and I know that it is the companion book with the Bible to testify that Jesus is the Christ.
