I am Vitória from Recife, Pernambuco / Brazil, I am 23 years old. I was baptized when I was 11, it was the best day of my life and the best choice I made. But I was not very firm and I ended up walking away, I went to the church that my mother attended, but I felt empty, I felt that something was missing, sometimes I went to church and it felt great to be there, my family is from the church, but my father, my mother, are from another denomination. When I was 20 years old, I started researching more about the church, I went on websites, until I sent an email to the missionaries, Sister Barbara from Salt Lake was the one who spoke to me, asked for my Whatsapp and we were talking, I talked about my desire to return to church and serve a mission, she asked me to read Enos the whole book, and for me to pray about these things, she challenged me to go to church on Sunday, to pay a visit. I read, prayed, and felt very loved, I felt that I was talking to Heavenly Father personally, I went to church, nobody knew I would, arriving there, I was very well received. My cousin was the third speaker, in his speech he talked about the church, that when we are in doubt we should pray, he talked about if we are thinking about going back to the church, this was the moment, because that was the best place, anyway. He answered everything I asked in my prayer, it seemed that Heavenly Father was there in the pulpit speaking directly to me. That day I spoke with the bishop and the Relief Society leader, so that I could return, we cried together, it was a very special day, a while later I filled out my papers for Serving a Mission when I sent them to the stake in I received an answer from Heavenly Father where I was going. I received the call two weeks after I was going to serve in Juiz de Fora - Minas Gerais, as the Lord had told me, I didn't complete the mission, but it was an incredible experience. This is my testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
