Latter-day Believers

Rusty grew up without much guidance from his parents, living a rebellious and rowdy lifestyle throughout high school. With no rules to follow, he embraced a life of partying and recklessness, believing he was in control of his own path. But when he was introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he felt a purpose he had never known before. Turning his life around, he chose to be baptized, served a mission, and has remained a faithful disciple ever since.

Doug was raised Catholic, but learned in school about pioneer history and the “deceiver,” Joseph Smith. During Doug’s college years, he left Catholicism and eventually married. When his wife and him moved to West Virginia, they were introduced to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through Doug’s work. After their first visit with missionaries, they dismissed the LDS faith. When Doug found a pamphlet the elders left behind about Joseph Smith and the Restoration, he read it and immediately felt it was true.

Abby was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but following the disruption of Covid she found it difficult to return to church. The lingering effects of isolation coupled with a sudden family trial led Abby to doubt her beliefs and the power of the Atonement. Instead of relying on the Savior during this time, she pulled away from Him until she could “be better.” It took a horse hoof to the face and a merciful miracle from God to help her find her way back.

Myriah was raised Christian, beginning in the Methodist Church and later being baptized into the Church of Christ in high school. During college, her performance in a community theatre show led her to meet and develop a friendship with a family who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After attending a baptism, she became curious about the Church and studied it for six months. Myriah worked through lots of questions and anxieties she had about the LDS Church, until she discovered the truth.

Malik never expected to join the LDS Church—in fact, he fought hard against it. After years of exploring different Christian denominations, arguing with missionaries, and even being anti-Mormon, he felt a pull he couldn’t ignore. He kept going back and forth, not fully knowing if the doctrine he was learning was true. Eventually, he got tired of his doubts and asked God for clarity. What happened next changed his life.
