==Religion==
My religious journey has been a bit twisted, but I've found the truth. Essentially and chronologically:

* I loved to study 
[[religion]].
** I was a skeptic, an [[atheist]].
** I drank lots of [[coffee]].
* I found out (discreetly) that a very close friend of mine was LDS. Very, very, LDS.
* I looked into it and became an anti-Mormon (as in against the church) [[apologist]].
* Eventually, I began to think of my friend again...about what I was doing to what she held sacred.
** She didn't know about any of this at the time.
* On the verge of suicide, I prayed for her salvation.
* Over time, I came to realize how ''I'' was wrong.
** Coming out of anti-Mormonism made me all the more faithful in the church.
* I have recieved a [[testimony]] which, according to my friends, is like that of a [[General Authority]].
**My Heavenly Father had put me on the path of tribulation and I was able to find Him because of it.
* I am now a pro-Mormon apologist and firm believer in the [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]]
