A LITTLE INFO ABOUT ME!
-My autobiography including my conversion story and mission plans.
    I was born on November 14, 1979 in Dayton, Ohio. My childhood was pretty dull, and semi-tramatic as I had major problems with bullies in my second year of school. I then moved to a different school district which was a lot safer. From then on my life was very monotonous, until eighth grade when I joined the church.
    My grandparents, and my mother joined the church in 1978. However they became inactive towards the early eighties. I don't even remember anything from attending church, accept some guys giving me bread, and water. Throughout the years as I moved in with my grandparents in third grade, their hometeachers continued to come and teach them gospel truths. 1993 was a highlight year for me.
    In February I went on a church outing with a friend of mine from a different church to some ski lodge, and when I returned I had seriously thought about joining his church. When I returned from this outing two missionaries came over to talk with us I wasn't really receptive at this time to the gospel. But I did befriend these elders, although mission wise they were labled as slackers, every time they came over we would play video games, or go sledding, after the first initial time they tried to teach me the gospel they never tried again. Time went on and they were transferred or sent home. In October of that same year two more elders from the Church came knocking on the door. Their initial job was to re-activate my grandparents, as I hadn't followed up on joining my friend's church I was more receptive this time, and the Elders who taught me were more diligent in teaching than the former Elders. We started the discussions in mid-October and I was baptized on December 5, 1993.
     In retrospect I see three distinct chances that the Lord gave me to find the gospel. 1)Through my family had they stayed active. 2)Through the first set of Elders 3)Through a set of Elders who had come for my grandparents, but had converted me instead.
     Since joining the church, or since the Lord loved me enough to bring the gospel my way I feel a deep desire to serve Him by serving a mission, I feel it is the only way that I can begin to pay him back. I also feel it would help me out a lot.
     Since I joined the church at age fourteen I have served as Teachers quorum Pres., Priests 1st assistant, Priests Secretary, Secretary of My Seminary Class Presidency, Vice President, and President, in that order, and am now serving as priests first assistant again. I have graduated seminary, and am currently enrolled in institute.
     I have had many wonderful experiences since joining the church, but this Summer I had the best experience of my Life. I served in the 1998 Hill Cumorah Pageant-"America's Witness For Christ", please see my Hill Cumorah page. This was the highlight of my life thus far. I am currently working to get prepared to serve a mission towards the beginning of 1999.
