    I'm 12 and converting to Mormonism, by myself without friends or family, and I go to a Catholic school. All, the kid's at my school swear, date, and all that stuff. But, when they're doing that I'm sitting somewhere else reading the Book of Mormon. I dare to stand alone! :)

    WhooooAhhhhh! I was a lone Mormon in Basic Training, Advanced Infantry Training, and Jump School to be Airborne. The Gospel, Missionary Experience, and my Church service all enabled me to go from a Private in the US Army to A Warrant Officer in three years. I was with the Rangers and Special Forces, the straight-leg Infantry, a Helicopter Aviator and finally an Intelligence Analyst at the Pentagon. I can attribute all my successes to the Church and all my failures to not living the Gospel.

    One of my friends is not LDS. He is a great kid, he doesn’t swear, drink, or does bad things. I was telling him about how my brother is was on a mission. I then asked if he goes to church. He said no, but he has been a few times with his grandparents. I then asked him if he would like to go to church with me sometime. He said he would like that. I am glad that, even when I was a fourth grader, I could teach people about the gospel.

    I think this message is for everyone of us, no matter of our religion. Only thing that counts is the personal faith we have. You can be Christian of any denomination, you can be Jewish, you can be Muslim or anything, What ever we believe in, we must stand behind it, keep our standards and live our lives in a faith that God is with us everywhere. For there is only one God who protects us and guides us, and loves us.

    I saw this many many years ago. I liked it then, but have a COMPLETELY new respect for it now. In Marine Corps boot camp, this is exactly how it was. we had maybe 6 people in our whole company be members of the church. It made me very happy to see more members than just me, I didn't even expect that many if I'm being honest.

    I miss President Monson, a bit of trivia he was the mission President for my grandfather on my mom's side. I remember the day he passed away and when I found out, it was a school day and I had just woken up for school. When I went upstairs the tv displayed his date of birth and the day he died as well as a picture of him. I couldn't believe my eyes. Later that day at school during seminary, my seminary teacher talked to us about him.
