Hugs for Tiffany

My whole life geared me up to meeting the missionaries. My parents were spiritual people, but we switched churches a lot. My mom loved her Angels and we had angel items all over our house growing up. When I was in high achool my family joined the Catholic Church. It was nice to finally belong somewhere but I never felt that “burning desire” to be there each week.
I love to run, weird statement. But true. I met my first love in high school in the track team. Half way through our senior year we started seriously dating. I spent a lit of time with his wonderful family, never realizing they were Lds. Boy was I in for a shock. I was going to Uconn I the fall, he was going to BYU. Utah?? What, where, why??
After spending the rest if the school year running and being with his family the summer before I headed to UCONN I took the discussions and made a promise to join the church. That Christmas I was baptized, that summer I transferred to BYU and ended up running for their track and cross country team. Amazing!!
I graduated from BYU, got a 6th grade teaching job in provo and met my husband where I worked. People are always shocked when I tell them I am a convert. There have been people who are supportive and those who are not. But either way, simple conversion story but one with so much faith in the power of prayer and guidance from others. I have been given so many wonderful people in my life path that have helped me convert and stay strong in the gospel.
