Desiree's Testimony
I was very sick as a child, and spent much of my time in the hospital. My parents went to every church they could find, hoping someone could give them some answers and heal me, through the power of God. They decided to take the Mormon missionary discussions and become members. I became very sick again around that time, my remaining kidney was failing and they were panicking. I think that was part of the reason they decided to become members of the Mormon church, they wanted to know that whatever happened to me, I would be "safe". It took some time and lots of prayer but I regained my health and was baptized by my father into the church. Time went by, we ended up moving from Texas back to where my dad's family lives in Utah. My dad sunk further and further into depression. My mom was abusive to both of us and he finally had enough and left. He had intended to go into the mountains and commit suicide but a family friend of ours insisted that he go and visit her and not make any rash decisions. I was left with my abusive mom from the ages of 11 through 18 and noone would help me. My mom's ex-husband helped her lie and get sole custody of me. I was very depressed as a teenager, I attempted suicide once and was addicted to my mom's prescription medicines. Everyone around me chalked it up to teenage angst and pretty much ignored me. My junior year of high school, I met my husband on the internet. We talked everyday and became very close. He was pretty much all I had at the time. I knew that I didn't belong to the Mormon religion but didn't know how to tell my mom. One day she asked me why I didn't go to church and I just blurted out "Mom, I'm not a Mormon." Neither of us was sure what I meant. She assumed it meant I was an Atheist but she still made me take Seminary at school. I'm glad she did. I fell in love with the bible. I'm no expert and there are still many things I don't know but I can say I fell in love with the Word. Neither of my parents knew what it was like to just be a Christian. Not a Catholic, not a Mormon, just a Christian. In the summer of 2001, my husband took a bus from Texas to Utah to visit me. We had planned to go to college together but because of some actions of my mom's, we ended up coming back to Texas.
In the winter of 2001, I became pregnant with our oldest daughter and we were married on Feb. 14, 2002. It wasn't the best of decisions but we've tried to make it work. We now have three beautiful daughters, who are the light of my life. Mikaela is 6, she started Kindergarten this year and she is so intelligent and sweet. Adia just turned 4, she wears glasses and is very shy but a total ham. Katy is 1, she is very outgoing and talkative. I spend my days at home with my girls and I love it.
I've had a lot of time to think about who I am and what I believe. My husband, my mother-in-law and his grandma are all very devout Christians and they are kind of like my compass. I know that the Lord has rescued me and I know it's more than I deserve but I can never stop being thankful. I'm not perfect and I don't try to be but I can breathe easy knowing that someone out there cares about me and will be there for me. I know I can do all things through Christ.
