Hi I'm Tshana

I was looking for a code to live by and a means to do missionary work in Northern Africa once my children are fully grown. I was not considering the protestant churches at all, but as I watched a college basketball game with a friend he started explaining why the star player, Jimmer Fredette, was having such a difficult time on the court. BYU had suspended 2 players for breaking their code of conduct even though it cost them the game. I was curious about this code and went home and looked it up on the web. I came across a page that asked me if I wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon and 2 days later I received a call from Sister missionaries. When I met with the Sisters I was surprised to find that I already shared the basic principles and beliefs of Mormonism. You could say that Jimmer helped convert me, but I think that there was a plan and a path laid out for me...just waiting for me to be ready to accept the truth.

I was looking to be of service because I had a strong feeling that there is a part of me that I cannot know until I give of myself completely. Almost immediately opportunities to serve arose, from serving breakfast at a regional function to watering plants at the local temple. Last week I received my first calling, that is job in the church, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be very good at it...but I love it! The best part of being a Saint is that I am surrounded and supported by others who strive to live by Jesus' standard: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength and with all your mind. And, Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
