Where I'm from cont.

  So back to the suburbs where my dad and step mother found a second home called the Hawaiian room.A bar down the street from where we lived.They , literally,went there every night for about 11 years.We as children would have to go down there to get money for dinner most nights.The first time I remember really praying was for my father.He had gotten into a fight with some three guys after a high school football game.I was over his best friends house at the time and in the back yard I began to pray"God please don't take my dad".I was 10 years old and it worked.!
  Don;t get me wrong,I loved my dad dearly,but I could never understand why someone so smart did not believe in God.Why he was so bent on self destruction.Still can't.He was very craring and honest also/Very baffling to me.
  Mostly normal school attendance and sports activities thoughout school years.Played baseball for 5 years.Football for 5 years and golfed and surfed for many years afterwards.
   We move a town over in 10th grade so I had to change high schools.That was trying to me because I only knew two people in the whole school and I was dreadfully shy in those days.but that's when I had another spiritual expreience and was introduced to the book of Mormon.
    T he spiritual experience came with a witness.My little sister Kim.We shared a room together for a year because my grand mother was ill and needed to live with us.We were laying down for the night when as soon as we turned the lights off we began to hear whispering.And these whisperings were uttering my name!We turned the lights on-searched the house,but nobody there...very creepy to us.

I was born and raised in Califoria.The sixth of seven children.My first memory was flying like superman off the coffee table and busting my lip open(still have the scare).
  I remember Christmas' and riding my bicycle with the other kids in a new community outside of Los angeles.It was 1971 and I was 4 years old and everything was pretty normal.I knew right from wrong and believed in God at that age-I kid you not!It was'nt until 7 years old when things got alittle wierd. I say that because that's when my parents got devorced.
  I moved to a city closer to Los angeles with my brother Kelly and my Father.My Dad decided that he did'nt want the white picket fence anymore and got hooked up with a girl 13 years yonger than him.He decided he wanted to drink more so he did.The town was Cuduhy(crudehay)and I hated it.But I loved my Dad and brother so I decided to stick it out.Cudahy was riddled with gang violence even in 1974.The school I went to had hall monitors so that you could'nt even go to the bathroom alone.Pretty scarry for a kid like me(hypersensitive).We lasted about a year there and moved back to the suburbs.(thank God)
  Flash back-My first spiritual experience happened to me when I was 6 years old.I was sick with the flu and could not sleep well that night.I woke up in the middle of the night to a blue dressed apparition lady floating in the air.She was crying.I felt sad in my heart for her,and I felt she was sad for me.I was sleeping with my sister at the time so I tried to wake her up.When I did this the lady left the room though the roof.I'll never forget that.Later , my brother and sister both saw her again.I remember being able to see though her dress for she had no shame.
