Summary

#latterdaysaints #mormon #comeback "I had an experience laying in my bed where I asked God to help me to know His will for me. I then had a powerful experience where I felt water rush off my body as I was coming up out of these waters. Then I see one of my very best friends' faces pulling me up and he's in white. It was that experience where I understood that God would like me to consider being rebaptized. I had a long road until that point. I hadn't even been excommunicated yet. So when I was asked in the disciplinary council, 'what do you think, Jason?' I said, I wanted a fresh start where I could finally forgive myself for all the things that I have experienced and done. Through the ordinance of baptism -- I feel like if I can go through that experience I would be able to forgive myself. Where maybe just a disciplinary counsel and a probation, being less extreme, I would have missed going through that and burying that old guy and to symbolically start fresh. And I had some beautiful, beautiful, powerful experiences."
