After awhile, They stopped coming. I kept telling myself I need to go back to church. I need to at least go to the first hour. I knew it was important. I remember telling myself I need to go back because I want Brooklyn to have that foundation of Christ.
Then, again the sisters started coming back. It was Sister Flamm and Sister Hainer. They came, I let them start giving me lessons occasionally. It was just me at first. My sister, Melissa, never joined. I knew she would at her own time.
In May 2015, it was Sister Flamm and Sister Webb that was teaching us. Even Melissa joined. I decided, that started in June I was start going back to church. I told the missionaries I was going to tell my work that I cannot work Sundays. They were so excited.
During one of our lessons about the Book Of Mormon we were reading the Introduction page. Well, I have never read it before. I always said the introduction just explains it and I have already know how it was written. But in the introduction it says:
"We invite all men everywhere to read the Book Of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who purse this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost."
Now, I grew up in the church. I was always just told that the Book Of Mormon is true. I never knew, or thought to pray about it. But that night I decided to pray and ask God. That night I had a dream. I was standing over watching the stories in the Book Of Mormon as it was happening. Someone was standing with me. I remembered ALL of my dream when I woke up but as I was trying to write it down it slowly moved out of my mind. I know that God, showed me of its truths, but took away my vision of it because he wanted me to have FAITH that it is true.
I know that God is always there. He wants you to speak to him. Ask him questions. He is just waiting for you to talk to him. I know that the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints is the true church of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ's church has been restored to the earth once again.
I am forever grateful, for Sister Flamm for being so persistent. I know I would have gone back to church eventually but she helped me get there now. Now I am continuing my path back to the Light of the Lord. Continuing building my faith. So I have the solid foundation. That I may get back to live with my Heavenly Father. To be with my family forever.
Sister Flamm and Sister Webb changed my life now and not later. And there are other missionaries waiting to help change your live and bring you unto Christ. I ask you, if your not a member, or are inactive please reach out to a missionary let them teach you about the gospel. It will bless your life in many ways. You can request a Book Of Mormon and talk with missionaries at www.mormon.org
I want to continue to light my path back to Heavenly Father. As I read the scriptures, pray, keep the commandments, covenants, and go to church and partake of the sacrament I know the path will get brighter. I want to share the gospel with everyone because it has changed and bless my life in so many ways!
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
Alma 32:21
"And now as I said concerning faith- faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."
