Ramya Swarna

India Bangalore Mission

Sept 2015 - April 2017

I am Ramya Swarna's daughter Zion John(Sion). I am from the KGF Branch currently attending Whitefield Road Ward. My dad was christian but of a different faith. My dad was converted to the church in the year of 2000. I was baptized when I was child.I grew up in church learning the gospel ever since I knew. I always knew the church and Book of Mormon was true. But my knowledge was based on my parents. It was when I was thirteen years old that I got my own strong testimony...as I sincerely questioned my own beliefs, I wanted to figure out the truth first for myself. I prayed, searched , and pondered the Book of Mormon. One evening I prayed very earnestly to know whether the book of Mormon was true. For me that evening was unforgettable and wonderful. I felt like my Heavenly directly answered me saying "u already know its true" I felt my savior Jesus Christ was so close to me, I felt very warm around me. I continued to grow in church, personal scripture study, prayer, seminary and institute were my strongest sources to strengthen my faith. When the time was right I decided to serve my mission. I was called to serve in the India Bangalore mission Sept 2015 - April 2017 I served my mission in Vizag, Chennai and Rajahmundry. I am now blessed with a lot of blessings I cannot count. I am grateful that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are watching me and helping me. I testify to the existence and reality of the Godhead. The Holy Ghost is leading and inspiring me. I know the book of Mormon is true. I know my savior lives and loves me. I know prophet Joseph Smith was called by God and has restored the powers of priesthood. I know temples are holy and houses of the lord where we can be sealed for time and eternity.In the name of Jesus Christ amen.
