  1. Hey! It’s a pleasure to meet you all. So I’m fairly new to the Church - and by new I mean I’m a fresh convert baptised on March 31st and came to know the power of the Holy Ghost just a little over two months ago now. It’s been a whirlwind, to say the least! I’m nineteen years old and my religious background was brief dealings in Christianity as a child. None of my family were mormon, nor did we have any ancestors who walked such a path. So I guess you could say I’m somewhat of a trendsetter, haha! I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression all my life. One day, after feeling suicidal, I thought to myself, “if I wake up early tomorrow, I’ll go to Church.” Suffice to say, the next day I awoke with a start at 6am. I was going to church. And I knew which church it would be. Something drew me into the LDS chapel. I was curious and, though all I’d known of them previously was rooted in negativity, I wanted to give them a chance and see if I could find something in there. The moment I walked in, it was like a wash of love flooded over me, stole away every lingering drop of sadness that still pooled within my chest. The rest is history. I took lessons with the missionaries, bombarded them with questions, found peace upon reading the Book of Mormon and praying to Heavenly Father - I still don’t understand everything, and sometimes I worry and have my doubts, but I’ve no regrets about committing my life to the Lord. I honestly do believe the Book of Mormon to be God’s word. I suppose the rest will come with study, prayer and patience. Anyhow! Apart from my testimony, what to say about me...Well, I love my friends dearly, and I hope to go to University someday to major in Creative Writing. I enjoy spending a ridiculous amount of hours watching movies and TV Shows; I’m somewhat of a nerd, so if you ever want to geek out about Star Wars, Harry Potter, games or anime, then I’m your gal. I also adore classic literature. If you’re ever after book recommendations then I would be happy to oblige! I’m hoping to do a mission next year, if possible. So I’m trying my hardest to spend this first year preparing myself and saving up. I want to, above all else, share the happiness and peace within that the gospel has given me. Don’t be afraid to approach and send me a message! I’d love to get to know you guys and make friends! Ciao!
