I simply do not let other people's actions against me. I do not dwell on, but try to focus on the future.

The moment in time when you remember what people did to, but decide not to let their transgressions feel like a massive weight on your shoulders. Things happened to me in the past and things will always happen to me, the difference is that I no longer let myself carry it around.

My Great-Grandmother passed away in January, and my Great-Grandfather politely declined to join. I feel my relationship is stronger with a lot of people, even though I am the only person in my family to be a member.

My name is Al Logan and I was confirmed a few weeks ago. I came to the Church when the missionaries came up to me when I was exercising in the park. Before that I had lived a dark life in which I had destroyed many people and families. My transformation began in March 2011, when I started helping my aging Great-Grandparents around the house. My time with my Great-Grandparents transformed me from a rude, hateful, and greedy person, from a person who was willing to hear the Gospel. The Missionaries convinced me to come to the Church when I began to finally understand the Gospel as restored by Joesph Smith. During one of my meetings with the Missionaries, one of them mentioned Mosiah 27; while reading it I saw many parallels to my past and knew that if God can forgive Alma, he can forgive me. I have been lurking around the board for a few weeks and I know I will have a good time here.
