I was baptized in 1994 and came from a non-religious background. Like Cheyenne, I found so much joy . I was shocked when, within weeks of my baptism, I found myself drowning in anti-mormon literature and lies from every direction. I am now 64 years old and living with my 91 year old mother to care for her. Her total dismissal of anything gospel related has dented my overwhelmed soul. Yet, I can never deny feeling the Spirit of God testifying so many times of the truthfulness of this faith.

And by that I mean me of course going back and forth. I end up defending or politely correcting people quite often who are not educated at all on the LDS church and they are usually very surprised to hear the truth.

What a beautiful story, Cheyenne! I went through much the same as you did, not so much losing friends, but similar things happen to me with my family. My mom went to the hospital when she found out I was attending church with my sister and my brother-in-law for the first time. She was in the hospital for three days from a nervous breakdown. My brother came to the church and threatened my brother-in-law if something happened to my mom. It was a little contentious at my home with my parents for a while, but I didn’t have to move out so that was one positive thing that came from it. And like you, shortly after one year I put my papers to go on a mission and served in Guayaquil Ecuador. That was an amazing experience. Serving people in another country, learning a new culture and spreading the gospel to people who were so humble. Thank you for sharing your story. I hung on every word that you said waiting to hear what you were going to say next. I’m so happy that you found the truth and are growing in the gospel. For me, it’s been roughly 45 years since I was baptized. And I’ve never regretted joining the church.

My father disowned me, my party friends thought I was crazy and my born again friends tried to save me. But, I knew it was true and I have never doubted my decision to join Jesus Christ’s restored church. Every good thing in my life in the 44 years since then are a direct result of choosing to follow the Savior. Regarding family and friends, Time (and the Spirit World) softens hearts. I had a dream that my father has accepted his temple work (he passed away in 2007). I am hopeful that my mother and others will follow suit. Bless you for sharing your story.

Hey Cheyenne! I'm adult convert, too, having had a very active faith journey in "mainstream" Christianity before I met with missionaries. (Funny aside, I thought I was there to convert them!) I have tons of family and friends who love the Lord and who, so far, think the Book of Mormon is just a work of fiction. But what I have come to realize is that they don't know what they don't know, and God will convert them in His time just as He converted you and me through the sweet promptings of the Holy Ghost. So don't be sad for them, but do pray for them every time you think of it. More miracles, and "the greatest manifestations of the Savior’s power that the world has ever seen," are ahead!

I don't get the feeling that the missionaries are very knowledgeable about the New Testament gospel because they haven't been raised in a church that teaches as much from the Bible so I am interested in your opinion as someone with that background who has converted.

@@coachmarc2002The LDS faith actually studies and learns from the Bible extensively in church lessons, Conference Talks, Devotionals, Seminary (which is standard for high school students), Institute (college age students), and so on. The Book of Mormon strongly supports the Bible and the Bible strongly supports our faith. We don't expect the youth to retain everything in the Bible or Book of Mormon, but to learn the spiritual principles within them. But we do encourage them to try to remember scriptures that strengthen our testimony of Jesus Christ and to help us on our covenant path with God. And some members know or remember scriptures more than others. We don't feel how much scripture we retain is what measures our relationship with God, but we are taught to read them regularly which beings the Holy Spirit and to try to follow the precepts within them, such as the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, which can bring us closer to God. Ironically, we often wonder the same thing about other faiths when it comes to the Bible because there are so many scriptures in it that strongly support our faith that we wonder if other faiths overlook them or if they are unfamiliar with them. Some we know we just have different interpretations of them, but others it seems we are the only ones who believe them.

Being 68 years old, from Texas, now in Taylorsville Utah for 44 years, & a convert to the church being a former member of the Southern Baptists, I can relate to your story. Be strong dear Sister. I know without doubt that God is our father in heaven. That Jesus Christ is His Son. Both of them are very distinct beings but one in purpose, drive, & mission along with The Holy Ghost. My first testimony was of Joseph Smith. There was no way that he did what he did without the express help of The Godhead. In fact it was a full 5 years later after my baptism & confirmation that I read The Book of Mormon. The Holy Ghost burns within me. There is so much for you to learn even now. God will teach you line upon line, precept upon precept. The joy of God & His Son Jesus Christ should course within your veins. Again be strong for there is but a few short years & our Saviour returns. God will bless you, never ever be afraid to ask for his help.

Everything I saw, heard, and read from them (because they were so terribly off base from what they thought we believe - and because the Spirit was not with them) the things they said, did, and the materials I read from them actually strengthened my faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints being Christ's true church.

I wonder; do we see in the world what we bring to the world? Cheyenne said she was not convinced by the "Mormons," and she was not convinced by the Evangelicals. Her conversion was by the Spirit of Christ. If by "naive teenager" you mean she sounds happy, loving, kind, considerate, and even joyful and fulfilled, then I agree with you. Jesus helps us to recognize the truth by His teachings: "By their fruits ye shall know them. (KJV Matthew 7:20. See Matt. 7:13-27)" Paul explained to the saints in Galatia how to recognize what the fruits of the Spirit are: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (Galatians 5:22-23). Do these words apply to Cheyenne? If so, she bears the fruits of the Spirit, and we know Who she follows. That's how I see Cheyenne. Hopefully, M, we all follow the teachings of Christ Jesus when we only judge others the way we want to be judged ourselves (Matthew 7:1-5). I myself am so grateful and praise God that I can be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the same church Cheyenne joined.

We have a child on the severe part of the spectrum of Autism. We were mistreated and outcasted by the church many times. I love the Savior, Jesus Christ, but i do not like how the body of Christ is acting. Back in 2004, i met a man who is from Utah and very strong with the LDS church while we served in the Army while deployed to Baghdad. I lost touch with him until 2018, when i found him on Facebook. Since 2005, he has married and had a beautiful family. My family and I went to visit his family in Utah. They met our Autistic son, Kevin. Never have we seen the way the church members treat each other like family, and they had so much compassion on us. We never felt the same love from members of our " Christian " church. Fast forward to 2018, my wife and i were separated, a lot do to no support system for our family and the stress caused by our Autistic son. My Mormon friend called me out, and coached me the way in the spirit. Our family was saved through the power of the Holy Spirit and our Savior. 2023, they attented our 25th anniversary vowel renewal ceremony, he was my best man!

It seemed her parents didn’t interfere with her path at all. I could be wrong though. After all these years I stay in touch. I plan to sit down with her one day in the Celestial Kingdom and reminisce! BTW, I was her Branch President and was honored to be asked by her to perform her baptism those many years ago. From listening to Cheyennes testimony I wish I had been more attentive to her after her conversion, but apparently she didn’t need it. Donny and Marie Osmond were her inspiration to join the church.

I loved to hear your conversation story. I joined the church when I was 18. After my baptism the missionaries gave me a picture of Spencer W. Kimball our prophet at the time and when I showed it to my parents, my mom said I was brainwashed. It's been 45 years since my baptism and I am so grateful I was "brainwashed" because it's been the best decision I've made in my entire life. I love the gospel and my Savior. Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony❤

People told that to me too, but I think it’s because they don’t know a lot about the church.

Cheyenne, I had an experience once w an anti- Mormon book that I was given. I started to read it and immediately recognized how it twisted our beliefs and took things out of context. But what really struck me was the darkness I felt - the Spirit immediately left me. I set it dwn & picked up the BoM and started to read and was filled w the Spirit of light & love. I went back and forth that way a few times just experiencing the Spirit coming and going. Then the Spirit gave me a couple insights: 1. Lies & deception cause the Spirit to leave; attacking God’s word causes the Spirit to leave (no surprise abt either of these); and 3. Ppl of other faiths who read these things abt us feel the darkness of the book & the Spirit withdrawing, & instead of associating their feelings of darkness w what they’re reading, they associate it w us… this is why they teach each other to avoid & fear us, & to hold us in such contempt. It’s heartbreaking.

I agree that people associate that awful feeling to the Restored Gospel, rather than to what they're reading. I also felt the difference between the anti material and The Book of Mormon. Paying attention, it was obviously to me which produced good fruit.

My mother in law gave me an anti ore book to read…with the belief that I would see the “light” and leave the Church. I read it cover to cover and afterwards thanked her for sharing the book with me. I told her that this book helped to strengthen my testimony of the truthfulness contained within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We remained dear friends until the day she died at age 101. She was so proud of her granddaughter who is an active loving member.

Wow. Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey, Cheyenne! ❤ You are such a good example of finding your own way by following your mind, heart, and spirit. I’m so happy for you. I joined the church when I was 18 years old and received a lot of criticism but now I am 54 years old with wonderful husband, two married daughters, and six grandchildren. My life is so much more meaningful and it was the best decision in my life. ♥️

I was baptized in 1997 and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. This was a wonderful story. I was so engrossed in listening to it I couldn’t stop. It was just a blessing. My love goes out to all the converts that I’ve gone through these difficult times because I had a lot of people that disowned me as well, but it’s true

You know it's right when Heavenly Father is asking you to do something and you really don't want to because it requires you to change.

Thank you Cheyenne!

loved your story, its so sad that people instead of finding out for themselves what we believe choose to listen to other faith leaders about what we believe, when those people don't know themselves. Shouldn't we all be praising people who have a testimony of the Saviour.

Such a beautiful conversion story, and she has so much light and strength!! It shows us that when God tells you something, you know it. It's not just a feeling.. it's a real witness. She knew that God spoke to her through the Holy Ghost. She recognizes that she can't answer every question, and that she doesn't know everything.. but she knows that God spoke peace to her and that He told her this was right. Awesome!

Beautiful story and testimony. I had never faced opposition in decided which church to attend until I began attending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am grateful that I was given the wisdom to keep my conversion process private until after my baptism. This allowed me to investigate the church without the bias and negativity that other Christians have towards our faith.
