I'm a Convert.

I'm a convert. In some ways I am and some ways I'm not. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Otherwise a Mormon. I know it, I live it, and I LOVE IT!!!

I'm not a convert in the ways that missionaries or friends suggested me to take discussions. I'm a convert in the ways that I personally had to find my own testimony of the gospel. In fact we all do. So really, we're all converts.

It's not a simple process really. I didn't have an unshaken testimony that I loved this gospel until well actually this year basically. I did know for a fact that I knew this was gospel was true through the past 16 years but it honestly came this last school year.

I had an AMAZING seminary teacher, Brother Mueller. He taught me to love the gospel in ALL aspects. And be proud of it. I can't think of a day that I honestly didn't want to go to his class. It made my days a ton better and my testimony of Christ and the Book of Mormon even that much stronger and unshaken.

I grew up in the church in fact. I've always had a testimony. But I started realizing it more and more this past year and how much stronger I needed to be through the transition of high school. High school is tough. There's a lot of things you don't want to see or hear in the halls that you do. I find it so important to have a testimony at these times. But through having a testimony and following through with what you know, makes it immensely easier.

So yes, we are all converts. We all need to find our own testimony and nitch in the gospel. We all need to have our own testimony through the trials we face.

I encourage you if you have not already, find your OWN testimony. Know for yourself. Find that happiness because it's so worth it.
