I was waiting for an answer to my petition to Heavenly Father that this church was true, it was answered after a series of spiritual experiences.

 It's quite remarkable how many personal resolutions I've made just because of the things I've experienced in the past two weeks.  I feel revitalized in the Gospel.  The Latter Day Tour was the extra boost that I needed to get me on an unwavering path towards the Celestial Kingdom. I'm forever in debt to the Ewell's for bringing this about and giving me that last push in the right direction.  They are truly performing the Lord's work.  I have a #10 testimony and a lot of the credit is owed to this spectacular trip.  It will remain with me for all of eternity.

 I can say that I was heading toward the wrong path and light was getting dim but you have brought me back on the straight and narrow path and to the brightness of Christ's light.  Thank you for helping me build my Number 10 testimony.

There have been times when I have seriously considered taking my own life.  But this trip has changed my entire perspective on life!  My Heavenly Father loves me, and I need to serve him.  This has become my goal: to serve the Lord throughout my life.  Thank you for this trip.  It has given me the will to live again.  This Gospel has truly saved my life.  I love you and your examples.  Please continue doing this trip. so other youth can feel as I feel.                                  Name Withheld

 The Church history tour was the best thing I could and did do during the summer.  I have felt the spirit ten-fold like I never have before.  I went with an open heart and I did feel the spirit at the historical sites..  I wrote down those feelings in my journal; I took what you said to heart about journal writing.  It really is important because you easily forget.  I felt the spirit magnificently at the Sacred Grove.  I just want to let you know that you made the church history tour so fun, and spiritual.
