lets see, my testimony... as a child we always had Jesus Christ in our lives. This was because my siblings and I lived with my grand parents. when I became older my grandparents lost custody of us. my connection with Jesus was lost. I had trouble adjusting to my new enviorment. we had more freedom and there were a lot of things we knew nothing about. Im a with a good nature about me. At times I have done a lot of running. I have an old teen age friend who was taught with a different view. he believes Jesus Christ is. just a prophet. not the son of god, which made him half mortal. at the time I could not and did not know how defend my beliefs or find the guidance I needed to do so. instead I became a person who denied Jesus Christ's purpose. I lost him and became abusive with my life, I was lost. I became a troubled teen. when I became 24 years of age I became mentally ill, my destructive life came to a holt. my cousin crystal came to my room, Knocked at my door and I felt so bad I didn't answer the knock. she cried and I heard her crying and opened the door and hugged her.

I started going back to church. and in time I got better.

one time I'm not sure when exactly. I would say around 2005. my mom was doing a biography on Christianity and ordered the restoration video.

when it was time to receive the video she seemed shy and asked me to answer the door. I did, the missionaries said "we would like to share a message with you". I felt something saying I could learn something I didn't know. let them in. we talked and became friends. it was a few weeks in on our visits I was reading Nephi 1. they talked about gods eternal plan for happiness. Some of these parts included the war in heaven and the three glories, the apostasy. I remember thinking I was in apostasy once, and I never wanted to be lost again. I loved the talks we had.

they invited me to church.

the first day I went it was fast testimony day. that was weird! random people were going up to the pulpit and expressing the things they were great full for and how the god head has blessed them with impressions that gave them a stronger, newer more refined testimony. it was different to me because I was used to having one person lead a sermon It scared me. I knew I was a new face,, and if I got up it would bring attention to me, I got nervous as started to walk out of the church.. I was almost running aright maybe ill say a brisk walk. when I got to the parking lot. an elder I didn't know slowed me down reassured me everything was ok. we went back in and I sat that day. I could not attain a word that was said. but the other meetings, gospel principles, elders quorum. it was so quit and peaceful. I was listening and thinking and remembering some of my past teachings of the bible. there was a deeper understanding for me there. I kept going. and the elders kept coming over to teach me.

one day they asked me would I like to be baptized. I knew the gospel of both the bible and the book of Mormon was true. I found my purpose there. I was holding onto the iron rod that leads a tree and fruit. this tree is Jesus Christ.

I am a child of god. I do fear things. I am not able to protect myself against the world which is full of diversity. what Jesus did for me is make a path. the trials and tribulations on this path give us his traits.

In the Bible, Christ says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). The Book of Mormon says that “all mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state, and ever would be save they should rely on this Redeemer (Christ)” (1 Nephi 10:6).
