Reader Stories: How I Converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

All members of the Church, whether long term members or recent converts, have their own conversion story. How did you come to know the Church is true? Was your conversion a slow and steady process, or did a specific event or experience convert you to the gospel of Jesus Christ?

You can also upload a photo or two that relates to your conversion.
