I used to get in a lot of trouble at school before I became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’d get in lots of fights and didn’t really have morals. But everything changed after I met the missionaries and felt the Holy Ghost.

I was really afraid to come to church alone. I thought, “Who am I gonna sit with?” But the people of the Church in Moss welcomed me. It sort of felt like family.

Now, I like to go with the missionaries when they have lessons. They like it when I explain how God and Christ and the Holy Ghost have helped me during my everyday life.
