My Close Relationship with God
byThe LDS Church & the wonderful people in it have helped me to re-establish the close relationship with God that I lost 20 years ago. At that time, things went wrong & I couldn’t work out why. I moved away into New Age beliefs and subsequently atheism. Although all was well with my life, it felt like something was missing. Out of the blue, I got interested in the LDS Church and with its emphasis on family & community, felt that this was in tune with where I was right now. My recent baptism & confirmation was an incredibly powerful and moving experience. Through prayer, I am finally starting to properly address what went wrong in the first place and beginning to arrive at some meaningful answers. I would say to anyone seriously considering joining, just make that step! Learning about the gospels & the Church is a lifelong thing. You are far better off getting rid of the baggage by baptism and with the powerful gift of the Holy Spirit through confirmation. My thanks and God’s blessings to the missionaries & all that have helped myself & others.
