Peter Ellsworth explains how his family converted to Mormonism from biblical Christianity. As Peter was raised LDS he believed in Mormonism, but wanted a stronger testimony. Peter decided to serve an LDS mission so that he could find what he was looking for. Peter’s mission experience caused him to doubt the integrity of the missionaries who served with him. Ultimately, Peter decided to leave his mission early because of the problems he observed in the Mission. Peter still believed in Mormonism, but was judged by those in the ward for leaving early. Peter began hanging out with Bible believing Christians and began having discussions with them that started to change his views about who God is.
