Lauren Rose shares her experience of finding hope in returning to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

"When I came back to the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I was so humble and so broken.

I didn't go to the church just wanting it to be true.

I wanted to find the truth wherever it was, and I was willing to go anywhere to find it.

I didn't have an agenda. I wasn't searching for a church that fit with MY ideas - I had no ideas. I knew I was wrong.

I was genuinely searching for the truth and that is what made the difference for me.

I was like this sponge that was just soaking everything in.

I kept thinking about how different my family's lives would have been had we stayed in the church.

I was filled with regret.

I was also so freed, because I had so much hope.

Once I found out there was a God, everything changed and there was a light inside of me.

People could see it.

I was so genuinely happy." -Lauren
