• As a teenager living in Somerset, New Jersey, I participated in the cast of the Hill Cumorah Pageant near Palmyra, New York, for two summers.
• One night during the summer working at the pageant I decided to find out for myself if the church was true. I went to the Sacred Grove alone and prayed. Nothing happened. A month later, as I was reading the Book of Mormon, I received my answer. “Without my asking for it, the witness came.”
• When I was 13 my mother had a very serious surgery that limited her ability to do things. Knowing how much she loved home made bread I asked my grandmother to teach me how to do it. For years I continued to make bread for my family.
