did my studies in Pau. After my studies, I started working in Pau and I met a member of the Church, from Pau, through a theater and Spanish language association. She told me about the Church and at first I wasn’t interested. But one thing led to another and I agreed to listen to what she had to say and to take the test of going to church.
So I went one Sunday morning to a Sacrament meeting and felt moved to pray to ask forgiveness for things I thought might not actually be so good. That was that.
And the more I prayed, the more my heart physically tightened really, really, really hard. And right up until the moment when I… I burst into tears and had to leave the room, a little ashamed, a little… a little embarrassed, sobbing. And there were a lot of people smiling as I left the room. (Laughs) For me, it was a rather peculiar thing, because I’m someone with a… very scientific background. So I’m not and wasn’t against spirituality. I found people who were spiritual interesting. I thought there were spiritual practices that were… that were, that could be enriching. But I didn’t like churches because I thought they were principles of domination by people over other people, so I wasn’t interested in that. After that, I’m like all French people.
