Hi,
My names Maxine and I am 19 but in two and a half weeks i'll be turning 20..
It was a normal day for me and I was feeling depressed and didn't know who to turn to and I had this feeling to go online and search religions on google and I looked up a few but they didn't seem right for me and I came across The church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and so I logged on to http://www.mormom.org/ and spoke to an online missionary to see what I could do. And of course I told him what was up and then he had to go, and a few days later I logged in my email and found an email from another missionary named Elder Ryan Tucker who worked in the Provo MTC in Utah, and so I added him and he came online that day thankfully and I started speaking to him.
I told him what I did to find the religion and told him what sort of feeling I had and said it was "The Holy Spirit" that had come down from heaven and that was my calling, so I kept on talking to him and he said that he and his companion could teach me or my local missionaries could, so I said ok and from that moment they both started giving me lessons online and the more I had the more at peace I felt with myself. And I have been praying loads to Heavenly Father, and soon I had all the lessons and I phoned Peterborough ward in the Uk, and met up with one of the missionaries called Elder Brewer, and I got my Book Of Mormon from him, and phoned him a few days later and got the number for the local missionaries in Huntingdon.
I gave them a call and the Elder phoned me back the next day, his name is Elder Polo and his companion is called Elder Giusti. They arranged transport for me to go to church for the first time and I was nervous but when I arrived the Elder came up to me and shook my hand and said hello, the Elder's have so much energy which is amazing to see. And they came out to my house for a lesson and I have been having lessons with them and the other Elders in Provo,Utah. I admit that I am proud to go to the church of jesus christ of latter day saints, because in my heart I know that this is the true church of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father.
A few weeks ago I had my first fasting sunday and I acutally got up and bared my testimony and the great feeling was that the Holy spirit controled me to be calm and relaxed but after I said it I got down and went back to my seat and I was really shaking.... But I am happier than I have ever been in my life and I know that my heavenly father loves me for who I am and not what other people want me to be....
this is my first blog on this site so it's still new to me... I'm at college as I am writing this so I'll be back online later to do another one....
