“So basically, I’ve been to church ever since. Maybe a day or two, I’ve missed because I got sick but I’ve been going ever since. And then I was able to receive the priesthood back and then get to a point where I was able to get my temple recommend. That was another big pivotal moment. To be able to walk inside that temple,and know you’re worthy enough to do it. Cause I’ve fought demons, I’ve done it, you know? And on my birthday, I went to the temple to do baptisms and confirmations by myself, just me. I just needed me. After it was all done, there’s no explanation about how you feel after. You just feel relieved, you feel light, you just feel clean.”
