I have always known that God lives and that the church is true. Grandpa Wally was a great example of being a member missionary and was always preaching the gospel to his aquaintances. Living and growing up in Taos also gave me opportunities to tell and show my friends what I believed. Grandma Nora, in her quiet and loving ways was also a good Christlike example to her family members who struggled with their faith. I was very shy growing up and did not get the courage to bear my testimony until I attended Stake Youth Conferences and did so there. Doing that strengthened my testimony, as did reading the Book of Mormon all the way through for the first time when I was a BYU freshman.
