I arrived in Israel with a burning desire to know if the Church was true. I was going to turn 21 shortly and needed a testimony. I spent a lot of time praying and pondering and waiting for that precious answer. The funny thing is that I didn’t get the answer at all of the amazing places we visited. I finally let go of the timing of the answer and told God “Thy will be done” and it came shortly afterwards. One Sunday morning I woke up not feeling well but I went to church anyway. About halfway through church I felt an amazing calm and joyful feeling and my mind was enlightened. I felt like I was lit up with the Spirit. I finally knew the church was true. I’ve felt that confirmation several times since then but that was the first time I truly knew.
