I am a good guy! I was raised in the church from 6 until I was 18 at which
time I became
inactive. I remained inactive until last year when I decided that there was
nothing
else out there that meant anything to me. In all the 10 years I was
inactive I
never once lost my belief in Mormonism. The fact that I came back had
nothing to
do with anything I was told as a child and young man. I came back because I
began reading the Book of Mormon again and testimonies of others and felt
the
burning in my 'bosom'. I knew I had to come back.
