Thessali grew up in the Church of Christ. She started dating a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was introduced to the Book of Mormon. That relationship ended, but she couldn't just put the Book of Mormon away. She studied it alongside her Bible and gained an undeniable witness that it was true. Even after some trying and opposing personal experiences she received a witness and confirmation from God that she should still be baptized. Her story is evidence that God is in the details of our lives and that the Holy Ghost truly does reveal the truth of all things.
