What is true?

We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Last night... we prayed...
and read the first chapter of Nephi.

Sometimes I feel ..... I'm not sure of the word to use, but I feel something. Lower. Because I don't know about the Church. I know bits and pieces. But I don't really know anything.
I know it isn't a bad thing. My family just wasn't a part of the Church. And they have no interest in being.
I've always been curious. I've peeked my head in once or twice. But I've never felt drawn to learn more... like I do, now.
I've asked a few questions.
Nobody has ever really given me answers like Marcus has.
The things he has told me make me want to learn more.
The feeling I have with him in my life makes me want to learn more.
I just feel this strong sense that I am supposed to learn more.
I don't know where it will lead me.
Or what answers I will find.
But I'm on a mission to figure out what I feel is true.

So tonight... We have a meeting with the Bishop.
I'm a little nervous.
But after Marcus prayed last night-- I feel peaceful with it.
I know this is something we are supposed to do and it is so nice to have someone by my side that already knows so much and is willing to teach me. Every day. :)
