Leah Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have been lurking for a while now, but Dahlia just nudged me into introducing myself. Long story short.....my life completely fell apart a couple of years ago. Widowhood and joblessness happened within a few weeks of each other, followed a few months later by a diagnosis of MS. Over the last couple of years I became quite confident that life would never get better. Previously - when bad things happened - I always knew life would get better. This time I "knew" that it would not. But a conversation with someone who also has MS - and I thought was only going to be about MS! - led to an invitation to read the Book of Mormon. My immediate reaction was to dismiss the notion. I was Jewish, why would I read the Book of Mormon? But I started reading it. Then I started going to Church. Then started meeting with the missionaries. And next month I will be baptized. No one is more surprised than I am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
