Following my heart

My name is christina & Im from florida , I needed to write and thank you for your website. My story here begins a little over a week ago.While in a music chatroom i began talking with a man about music & we began talking about religion soon after. He suggested that I check out www.lds.com
He said read over the basic beliefs and see what you think. Well I read that & couldn't stop there.i ended up reading the whole site.When i finished i requested the Book of Mormon & also for someone to bring it out to me.Two days later Elder Van & Arnold showed up at my door with the book.I have two children a 3 yr old & a 7week old and felt it was time to start teaching them the right way. In a way like you i had always went to church but never felt comfortable there.There father is completly against this i much meantion. He feels strongly that the Book of Mormon is false. Anyway the first night i was through the first two books of Nephi.I prayed with all my heart that night for God to let me know if this was right.Like you I cried & felt this charge, and i knew my answer had come. The following night my childrens father & I had a heated argument about this.With him insisting that God was telling me through him that this was wrong. SO again that night I prayed and asked for answers,again my answer came.In some strange half stage of sleep I spoke these word"ye shall not be tormented by that which is untrue".I was amazed! I continued reading & felt more & more strongly about it.Then 2 nights ago again we had a very heated argument.He throw the Book of Mormon away & threatened to leave if i continued.I was at a lose i must say.Then I decided i'd prove to him that it was not false.The first things i found did nothing he was still against it.I have been looking all day & i found you website.I read the whole thing & I have came to this conclusion,I refuse to let him stop me from getting closer to God. I know in my heart that the book of mormon is true.If he wants to leave more power to him. Your story of your experiences with God were very touching & again I just want to thank you for these things that God helped me find and gave you the power to share.
Sincerly,

Christina Brooks
