Reality of converting from Catholic to Latter-day Saint | Rachel's Story

Rachel Gerber joins us today to share the conversion of her mom, Teresa, and herself. Her mom was raised Catholic but felt something missing. Her coworker began inviting her to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But Teresa was very against the faith. But with time, she decided to attend. And her children followed suit! Their trials weren't easy and the path was rocky but Rachel shares how this background of conversion re-aligns her faith when things seem shaky.
