Dancing truly is a wonderful venue for expressing and finding yourself. Keep up the good work and share some more of it with others. Dancing has many moods and moves - just like the gospel - there are happy moments and very thoughtful moments. I hope you are always happy with your move to the Gospel of Jesus Christ - where you can always keep dancing and feeling that Spirit! Emily, your story was great!

Wow Emily you are amazing! I read your blog because I love to read conversion stories. ( I am a ward missionary) I only read to sept 30th and I have to say I am emotionally drained from it. It made me laugh, but mostly it moved me to tears, some for the joy, enthusiasm and light you have found in the gospel, some for the love and compassion from your friends and members there, some for the tender mercies from our Father. But mostly with sorrow and compassion for what you have had to endure to get you to the place you are at now. You are an amazing and inspiring sister.

What strikes me about your story is how it truly is a conversion. In the scriptures it's called becoming a "new creature in Christ." I'm changing too, I can't pin point a dramatic turn of events or a catalyst that started my change. I've been gradually changing my entire life as I understand and embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
