    Do you have a testimony you would like to share? Well, for one, I know the church is true. For a while, I questioned the church and didn't care about it really. I made bad choices and wasn't happy. I was the only child, out of 6, that was active and I was struggling. Then, one of my brothers came back to church and went on a mission. I knew he was so, so, so much happier! I wanted to be that happy. So, I started to listen to the talks and lessons in church, I read my scriptures and prayed. By doing those things, I stayed away from bad things, made better choices and was very happy. I prayed to know that the church was true. I know, that without the gospel, I wouldn't be where I am today. I love going to the church and giving lessons. I'm going to be going on a mission and I don't want to do anything that would keep me from being worthy to go to the temple. Withough the gospel, I wouldn't be very happy and would probably continue to make bad choices! I love the church!! :D

I also believe that if we ask the Holy Ghost to be there with us during difficult times, we will be guided. I was inactive for over 10 years and the Holy Ghost spoke strongly to me to return to church. I was going through a dark time and the Holy Ghost was there to help me find my way as I pondered on going back to church and becoming active again. Since then I have had so many changes in my life, my husband who was also inactive has started attending church as well. He even quit smoking! I am truly thankful for restored gospel.. . And ya'll are the first people I have shared my testimony with in a very long time!!
