"All my problems aren't gone, but with the Savior I know that getting through it is something that I can do through my faith in Him. It's just a phenomenal difference in my life. Every day I wake up now and I'm just so grateful to be here, compared to where I have been in the past in those dark places."

"I didn't understand for sixty one years of my life, really, really what the atonement meant, what the sacrament means, what garments represent. I didn't understand it fully the blessings that come from the washing and anointing. Initiatory blessings are just so real and true. It's like I was blind and now I can see. I was deaf and now I can hear."

"I love my Savior. He is my friend. He loves me when I haven't loved myself. He's been there for me, sometimes as a silent partner. But as I reflect on my life, I know that He's been there. I know He's carried me when I haven't been able to carry myself."

" Everything that we go through in life, all of it, is part of our education, and more than that, it's part of our ministry. It's our ability to help, love, and care for other people. I feel like it has been an honor and a privilege to have lived my life, even though it has been incredibly hard. I want other people to know that the Lord lives and loves them, even if it doesn't look like He does."

" I've come to know that Heavenly Father does know. He knows not just what we do or choose to do or the mistakes we make, He knows who we are and what we want. And He's just waiting for us to just even look at Him or acknowledge Him. He has so much for us. He has so much for me. He's given me so much already."

" My life is not what I expected it to be, but it's beautiful and it's wonderful and it's mine and I built it and I made it this and I'm proud of what I did and I'm proud of how I built it and I'm proud of the relationship that I have with my Heavenly Father. Everything that I went through doesn't define who I am, but it helped me become who I am and it helped me to find the fortitude that I needed to get through it and to power through and power on."

"Those answers just don't matter as much as my relationship with my Savior. It's like a weight system, you know? I'm not gonna give up something that's so important to me for the tiny weight of this one particular answer. I'm weighing my options, and I'm gonna choose Christ every time because He is who put me back together and it doesn't matter if I really believe in polygamy or not. He was there, so I'm with Him."

" You really become a new person. You become who you are, who you really are... It took me a little bit of time. It didn't happen overnight for me. But when I decided to change, when I really wanted to change...The other time that I tried to change, I didn't pull the Savior in much. It was, "I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna change friends." This time was different. I really put the effort in to bring Him into my life."
