This is the personal testimony of Margaret Slighte, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
How does one say "thank you" for a life that has been turned around? How does one say it for all the "things" in life that have come about and all the more that have changed for the best. More, how does one show gratitude felt towards their fellow person for all their help? I... Continue Reading →
when the day of my second anniversary of holding my Temple Recommend coincided with the date of my graduation, I felt a subtle "nod" from my Heavenly Father
These last few days, I began to retrace my steps. It has been two weeks since I had reached my destination. On the Sunday after I had reached New Hampshire, "The Car that Ran on Prayers", stopped. It stopped starting. I had a bad feeling about what seemed to be a "minor" fuel-flow issue. The... Continue Reading →
January 8th was my last Sunday in Washington State before I embarked on a journey that would take me completely across the United States.

In the past few months, from June to December 2013, I visited countless meetinghouses, three Stake Centers, and two Temples in two states. During that time, I was a member of no less than four different wards in two different Stakes. I attended church every single Sunday from the time I experienced my personal revelation...
