Tender Mercies in the TKM: Angel

by Elder Dunn

Angel was a referral. She was really pushed into sending the referral by her really close friends and family.

Here is Angel’s story in her own words…

I have always sought out religion. None seemed to “click”.

I have a close friend who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’ve known him almost 40 years and had no idea that he was a member.

My friend started sharing with me the story about Joseph Smith, how he was called to restore the church of Jesus Christ back to the earth, and the translation of the Book of Mormon.

He shared remarkable beliefs with me that I began to understand and feel were true:

  • That Adam and Eve fell so that man could be
  • He taught me about the three degrees of heaven
  • He invited me to live the Word of Wisdom
  • The belief of the Godhead that God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are separate and individual Beings
  • How we have been created in God’s own image

This friend is incarcerated in prison. He has 16 more years to serve. We read the Book of Mormon and study together daily with his phone calls.

I am so happy to have found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I used to not be a believer in God. For me It was scientifically impossible. But I NOW believe!
