Question

Did you ever wish that you weren't LDS? Or have there ever been beliefs or issues that you had trouble with?

Response

In it you asked if I ever wished that I weren't LDS or have there ever been beliefs or issues that I had trouble with. In answer to the first question, no, I never wished that I were not LDS. However, in my teenage years, even though I was born into the Church, I went through a questioning period and really wanted to know for myself if all of the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were true. After a lot of study and discussion with others who seemed to know of its truthfulness, I put all of these teachings to the ultimate test and I began to pray and ask God to help me know without any doubt or reservation that these things were true. This was not a casual thing on my part. I was asking with real serious faith and intent. I was very sincere about not only wanting to know, but in my asking in prayer and through the sweet peaceful whisperings of the Spirit of God, I have come to know that not only are all of these doctrines of the LDS Church true, but following them brings me closer to Him than you can possibly imagine. I hope this is helpful to you. Sincerely, Donny Osmond See related multimedia presentations
