Probably the plan of salvation is the strongest motivation for me. Well, and the knowledge of knowing where we came from, why were are here, which is to gain a body, and make ourselves worthy and hopefully, we return to Heavenly Father. To me, that is a great desire. I used to sort of feel a little lost before I joined the church. I would oen get very depressed on a Sunday night for no reason. Now, my father did die on a Sunday night, and I used to put it down to that. And, as soon as I started going to church at Bankstown chapel, I wasn’t even baptised then. But as soon as I sat down in that chapel, I knew I needed to be baptised there and then. The spirit was so strong, saying, “This is where you are supposed to be. Where you should be.” And I never suffered from depression on a Sunday night since.
To me, it was just so absolutely amazing, I used to feel a little bit lost, but I haven’t felt lost since I’ve joined the church. I mean, there’s been ups and downs, there’s been trials and I mean, nothing’s gone perfect, now you wouldn’t expect that, even though we’d like it. It was just the spirit witnessing to me and I just felt so comfortable and so strongly about it. The spirit was so strong, saying, “This is where you are supposed to be.
