Hunter's Testimony: A Leap of Faith

Hunter Martinez is a recent convert to the church with a powerful testimony. Growing up in Utah, Hunter was surrounded by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and felt like an outsider. Once he went to college, he began to investigate the church without the judgment of family and friends to influence him. He felt peace and joy in church meetings but felt like he could never feel the spirit. Through others' advice and vulnerability, missionary discussions, and an eventual leap of faith, he chose to become a member of the Church. He tells about how he continued to grow his testimony and gain "spiritual momentum" by confiding in the community around him. Hunter's episode is very powerful, and such a good tool to understand what it is like for converts. I encourage you to share this episode with anyone who is sharing the gospel or is investigating the gospel.
