Mark lived a picture perfect life until he fell into temptations in adulthood. After stealing from his work he surrendered to the Lord and completely changed his life.

“Besides my family leaving me, my life couldn’t get any worse. I had hit rock bottom. I met with my bishop and stake president. In my mind I had strayed too far from the path. I just couldn’t see myself becoming the person that I once was. The missionary I was, bearing testimony of Jesus, bringing people to Jesus, and being worthy to exercise the priesthood. It just seemed too distant. But they said I could be clean through the Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and I could come back from this. I believed them and I had hope in what they said. That’s all I had to go on was hope.”
