Hi I'm Chuck

I began my search for the true church in high school. I decided the true church had to be out there somewhere. I attended many different churches with friends during my search. When I attended a meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I noticed that many of the youth I knew and respected from school where members. These youth where good people, who where respectful of others, not into drugs, or violence, some where athletes, some not, but I considered all of the ones I recognized as trustworthy, quality people. I continued investigating and everything I learned felt right. Their meetings where different from the other churches I attended, and there seemed to be a lot more meetings then other churches but nothing strange or uncomfortable. I took the missionary discussions, prayed about them, read the Book of Mormon, prayed about it, and became a member. I have tried to obediently follow the teaching of the Church and be true to the commitment I made when I was baptized. My life has been blessed and I can't imagine what it would be without the guiding principals, and comfort the restored gospel gives me. I can not comprehend that a loving heavenly father would not provide a living prophet for his children in these perilous times, just as he did in the past for all who would listen.

I attend every meeting, and try my best to live the gospel daily. I treat others with respect, and I do not judge them, I may not agree with their ideas or actions, I know everyone is one their own journey and I can not begin to understand their trials. I try to help others when ever I can. I know that our Lord uses us to help his other children. I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior, and that I must not only believe but I must act as I know he would have me do. I know I am not perfect, but I hope, pray and believe that the Sacrifice of Jesus will be sufficient for me to return to my heavenly father.
