My First Testimony

I uploaded a memory of my own today on Family Search!  None of you will be able to see it on Family Search until I'm dead because of privacy laws so I'll include a copy here.  


"The first time I remember bearing my testimony in sacrament meeting was in the LaBarge Ward.  I think I was about 9 or 10 years old.  I remember thinking this would be the perfect place because there were only about 30-40 people in attendance in that small ward on any given Sunday.  We lived in Salt Lake City but spent most of our summers as children at the ranch which is about 8 miles outside of LaBarge, Wyoming.

I cried as I bore my testimony and was very confused by that.  I wish someone had told me at the time that that was the Holy Ghost bearing witness to me that what I was saying was true. "

This picture of me is from about that same time.



CHALLENGE:
Now it's YOUR turn!  I'll send $10 to EVERYONE who uploads a story about themselves to their page on Family Search.  I won't be able to see it on Family Search, so paste a copy of it in the comments here or if it's something you want to keep private, email me a copy to wwjonesd@hotmail.com.

Sarah Simpkin Grayson


Your great-great grandmother, Sarah Simpkin Grayson, was quite a religious woman from what I have read.  Here's a link to a cool experience she had when she was in her youth before converting to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  At the time she and her family attended the Church of Christ in England.  She was your Grandpa Jones' (Harold Jones) grandma but he never met her because she died before Grandpa Jones' mom was even married.

P.S.  I'm still working on the big one, Easton!
