Why I Joined the Mormon Church

Hear how seeking for the truth leads to one man's conversion to the LDS Church.

This journey to becoming a Mormon started when he was a young kind in Cyprus, Texas. He visited different churches and asked many people what they thought the truth was but he still wasn’t able to find exactly what he was looking for.

During this time, Mitt Romney was running for President of the United States and “The Book of Mormon Musical” was really popular. So Mormons became the talk of the town where he was from.

He started working at a restaurant where he met a Mormon girl who eventually invited him to church with her.

At church, he met the sister missionaries and began investigating the church. After he prayed about the Book of Mormon and came to learn of the Plan of Salvation and baptisms for the Dead, he knew that the LDS Church was the church of God on earth. He was baptized soon after.

I LOVE THIS! I’m a recent convert myself going thru my junior year of high school and I have not felt anything more real than this. I completely felt welcomed and loved and i couldn’t be happier. God bless you in so many more ways! ❤️

Hey, thanks for sharing your story. I'm an investigator right now and still trying to wrap my head around everything about the church. I only prayed once to get a sign from God if I am being called or not. I told myself it's not for you. But, I keep youtubing about it. Glad you had you had your own spiritual light. I want that, too.

I started investigating since practically all my life something was guiding me towards the LDS church, but ignored it since I didn’t know anyone that was LDS nor was that close to God. Until I wanted to get baptized as Christian funny how I felt that there was always something better and I walked in the church (LDS) to get out my chest about that something better and little did I know there was. It all clicked and came together everything I wanted in a church and strongly felt like home ect. Now this is my happiness and it literally saved my life. Obviously there’s always has to be critics on things that are even good, so I honestly don’t care what people say to change my testimony it’s my life and I know how much happiness and miracles I’ve received as a follower of Christ. #myhappinessnotyours

That was a beautiful, Brother! I was just baptized in the church tonight and I have no regrets! There's people I know who were trying to talk me out of it but I knew this was the right answer. I instantly felt the Holy Spirit right after my baptism myself. Praise Jesus! 🙏❤️✝️

[DaniJepp]

This is so perfect! I love the point you make to not just stop when you have one question that needs an answer--just keep going! If you pray, the answer will come when Heavenly Father thinks you are ready for it. That's so awesome that you kept searching.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE! NO MAN WILL COME TO THE FATHER BUT BY HIM!!!!

I am a convert also, I was a Muslim to follow my mother's faith, my father was a Buddhist. I learned the Bible from Pantecostal Church in my early age. Now, I now I am completed in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.

Thanks a lot for sharing! I love your channel!

I met the Church in San Diego, CA, back in 2009. I was renting a room from a member. I got into trouble when I lost a job and the church helped me to find a new one and I got a lot of new friends there. I remember my first missionaries, Sister Bell and Sister Todd. We met at a youth event when we played football with pillows :) That church didn't seem quite churchy as compared to the Russian Orthodox church, but I was absolutely fascinated by the San Diego Temple. I saw it in my dreams a couple of times. And all I knew about Mormons was that they were brave guys who had come and built Salt Lake City in a lifeless desert. I embraced the Book of Mormon, and the more I read the more questions I had. And I still have. At first I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that apostles could be modern and that the Twelve Apostles mentioned in the Bible were not the only people called apostles. But the doctrines of pre-existence, Kingdoms of glory and Plan of Salvation felt so true. I prayed and thought I'd received that answer that the Book of Mormon was true. At least, it's as much of a scripture for me as the Bible. However, as I was in California and that trip was the brightest trip of my teenage years, that feeling could be mixed up with a kind of traveller's excitement. So there were times when I looked into other religions and tried to answer the question: why not Orthodox/Catholic/Lutheran.. And I found rational answers, based on mind rather than feelings. After that I met tens of missonaries here in Russia, saw lots of temples in Europe, attended a wedding of an ex-missionary in the Netherlands, and this year I've attended a youth conference in Turkey. And I can really say that the church does feel like home, whatever country you come to.

Lmao. "They were all sitting together" is the most accurate thing I've ever heard. Back in California we all sat together for every meal. Didn't pray or anything like that but we just stuck together. Jocks, band geeks, skaters, nerds. We all just felt close. I miss that. I haven't felt a sense of community since I left the church. Maybe it's time to go back. I want my kids to have that.

[iliek]

Thank you for sharing your conversion story. I investigated the church for 2 years and became a member in 2013. Best decision ever. 🎉

[ausicanever]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful conversion story. Just discovered your videos a couple of days ago. So much to catch up with.

[darlenemartim]

We need more of this today! I’m a convert and it’s not always easy doing this by yourself. Today there is so much negative towards us.

[purplerain]

Dude... I freaking love this, so much! I don't know why, but I'm super obsessed with hearing others conversion stories! It's just...a breath of fresh air, I think.. A lot of people who grow up in the church, just don't quite appreciate how much sacrifice, and humility it takes to follow your heart, and take that leap of faith.

[jaidemartin]

I LOVE THIS. This is beautiful, and eerily close to my conversion story. Thank you so much for sharing!

[salustone]

Thank you Young man. You’re awesome, your testimony is powerful. Welcome to the LDS church, May the Lord continue to light your path and keep you safe.👍❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Quite a few years ago I was cutting grass around survey markers in Napa California when an elderly gentleman approached me see’s a wedding ring on but still asks I see your married got kids? I have a daughter, that is my life next to her mother and her bun in the oven. He then asked do you love your family which my response was I would die for my family although I preferred to be around for them! The following words were what caught my attention most” hey boy are you aware that families can be together forever” A great starting point. I state this to all mankind had it not been for my wife Kitty and the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints I would not be upon this earth! I am very thankful and More then grateful for the covenant that I hold and honor doctrine and covenants 132. This I know to be true and they must remember that I have to keep it together in a manner that will put a smile on my Heavenly Father’s face .

Wow, such an amazing testimony, Kwaku! You have a stronger base than some of us who were born into or were under the age of 8 years old ever have! Your story is a bit similar to my Dad's conversion, except that he just knew that the restored church will come or is somewhere in another land! When he heard the magic words, "This is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, " he just was ecstatic and wanted to be baptized right then and there! But you and I know that he needed to take the missionary lessons, come to church first, and voila! My Mom was so opposed to it until 4 months later she too was baptized with one of my sisters! All four of my living siblings were baptized at different times/years, my Dad never forced any of us to be baptized, except for me which was kind of a default that when you're 8 you will be baptized...you know all these things but just like any other "candidate" for baptism, I was also interviewed by a member of the bishopric because one of my brothers was the branch president and he didn't feel like it was fair for him to interview his own sister! To each his own, really! But, yes, your testimony is so great and your conversion was not so easy! Thank God for the leaders of the Apache Native Tribe! May we all press forward and endure to the end!

[jamietrout]

Thank you.
My family and I are new member of the LDS church.
I kinda have a similar story about I searched and I finally found my answers.
