"I Found My Voice as a Mormon": Chedda Burger Chef Shares Remarkable Conversion Story

"The only time I had prayed was if I was getting pulled over or arrested," Nick Watts aid after he met with the missionaries. "I was like, ‘What do I pray about?’ I remember praying and just saying that I was sorry. There was a long list of things I needed to say sorry for. I remember praying and all of a sudden I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t move, I could only laugh—that’s it. I felt this overwhelming feeling of happiness and I was like, ‘Oh, my goodness. This is it. This is what I’m supposed to be doing.’”

The Life-Changing Lesson I Learned After I Was Sent Home from (and Returned to) the MTC

In early July, there was a question I got a lot: “Are you nervous?” and I always answered, “No! I’m only excited.” I had a lot of confidence in my own abilities then, and even felt invincible. I was so sure of my own abilities that I couldn’t imagine anything going differently than I had planned. As it turned out, I should have been a lot more nervous then.

How My Perspective on Happiness Changed After My Fiancé Called Off Our Wedding Two Days Before

I’d been through breakups before, and they were all hard in their own ways, but none could have prepared me for having my wedding called off just days before.

They said, “Better now than in a few years down the road”, and, “You dodged a bullet.” When I disagreed with them they all gave me the most concerned, sad, and all-knowing look that seemed to say that I was naïve, needed time, and would look back in a few years having moved on and laugh. They all couldn’t wait to share their “similar” experiences. I know all of this was said and done out of love and with the best intentions, but all I felt was numb.

Who wants the Mormon girl in their class?

"Who wants the Mormon girl in their class?” No one said anything. I guess the other teachers did not want her on their roll. I didn’t say anything because I was stunned. I had taught for years, but was newly hired at this school. My principal had called a meeting with my grade level before the school year started to discuss class lists.

Author, Doctor: I Fell Hard for the Book of Mormon but Did Not Convert to the LDS Church

By Grant Shreve

"Historical silence surrounding the Book of Mormon has been deafening," Ph.D. Grant Shreve explains. "English departments, especially, have simply pretended it doesn’t exist, quietly building a wall of separation between literary studies and the Book of Mormon."
