My testimony and how I found The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I describe the winding road I traveled in finding the Church. In all honesty, I hadn't noticed how beautiful the road was until I wrote it down on paper. I write this to share to all my family, friends, and everyone, to let you know that God has a special plan for all of us.

The Lord's Miracle (My Story)
- By Kevin Kimball

- Why I Believe
This is my story and my testimony of living with and overcoming disability through love and faith in the Lord. I am proud of being handicapped, which just means your Spirit was so great in the pre-existence that the Lord gave you your own special handicap that no one else but you can handle. I feel that I'm better off than a lot of people. Everyone has their own handicap, big or small, that you must overcome. The Lord lives and he cares about all his children, so don't give up. I sure didn’t. My life has been more full because of the Lord, I LOVE HIM FIRST OVER EVERTHING. I know the church is true.

Recently, I was visiting with a young friend over breakfast about his future plans. As a senior, life looks a little frightening and confusing. This dear friend said to me, “I’m just not sure about a mission. You see, I’m just not sure that I know.” I have thought about it repeatedly since then. My young friend’s question is one that I have had before, perhaps you have had before… Do I really have a testimony? I’d like to tell you about 4 people who had the same question.

Paul's language is sometimes difficult to understand in our day. But, with careful study, his message is powerful. Here is a verse-by-verse study guide, and a synopsis of his message

- Why I Believe
Our Lord’s house invites us in. After being baptized about a year ago, one of my goals was to be able to learn how to become closer to my Creator by visiting His house. I want to thank my family and friends who have all inspired me to continue on His path and to go to the Temple. I'm forever grateful. A members positive influence will always be beyond our comprehension.
