Kempton talks about his formative years being distant from the LDS Church, despite much of his extended family having deep roots in the Church. While he was drawn to spiritual things, he wasn't consistently taught about gospel principles. It wasn't until recently that Kempton witnessed a miracle. After praying for a miracle, missionaries stopped by his house and left a note. Kempton knew he couldn't pass up the opportuntiy to learn more about the gospel. He has been on the route to fully integrating himself in the church including receiving his patriarchal blessing.
