This week on Saturday and Sunday the 5 and 6 of April at 10 am and at 2 pm MDT, a living prophet will speak. That is either true or it is not, but either way it is a bold and very interesting claim. For myself, I know it's true because I have heard the prophet speak and I have felt the spirit bear witness to me that he is a true prophet. My invitation is to watch conference! It is always so uplifting and I always learn so much. here is a link you can watch it live: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/watch?lang=eng or watch it after the live showing by following links to general conference through lds.org.
When I was about 8 years old I had a problem. I had no idea as to whether I liked carrots or not. I decided though that because they were a vegetable I didn't want to try them. I had eaten them about 2 years before and I thought I could remember what they tasted like. I could think of nothing so disgusting as eating a carrot.
After going through life this way for a long time, every time I was offered a carrot I would deny it, all based on 1 experience that was only a shady memory. Eventually I tried a carrot again and today I know that they are actually ok tasting, especially if they are prepared well. I learned this through personal experience. If you have negative experiences with faith in the past I would invite you to give it another try. While painful those experiences may be, you really have very little to risk by dipping your toe in and trying to have a small spiritual experience. General conference is a great way to do this. From the comfort of your own home you can learn and grow and feel the spirit. If this happens then take a further step of faith and see if the trend continues, try attending a local sacrament meeting. I can promise that is a step you will never regret. It wont necessarily be easy, but it will be the first small step in the right direction.
