My relationship with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began with curiosity just a few years ago. Having visited hundreds of church congregations, I came to it with a Protestant background that hammered home warnings about false prophets, but did not always know how to recognize good fruit. What kept striking me was that fruit: something organic, growing, symbolic, and alive. After being baptized two years ago, I have continued learning and have come to see my relationship with Christ as one shaped by fresh eyes, deep searching, and a growing sense of a deeply rooted faith that ultimately ascends to Him.
