" You really become a new person. You become who you are, who you really are... It took me a little bit of time. It didn't happen overnight for me. But when I decided to change, when I really wanted to change...The other time that I tried to change, I didn't pull the Savior in much. It was, "I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna change friends." This time was different. I really put the effort in to bring Him into my life."

" The answer to every question or concern that anybody ever has is that it will all be okay because of the atonement of Jesus Christ. That is what it's for. That is why they say the first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is real life. It's not just something that we tell Primary kids because it's cute, and we turned it into a cute little story and song. It is real. Start there. I came to really love my Savior, and He came to really help me."

"No matter where you're at or what you're doing or what you feel about yourself, I promise you that you can have a bright and better future for yourself. All you have to do is decide wherever you are or wherever you're at spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, that you can choose for yourself to have a better day. That this could be the best day of your life, that this day you can choose to do something different with your life. Whatever you're struggling with, it doesn't have to be as serious as what I've struggled with, you can choose better for yourself, and that's exactly what your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want for you. They want you to be happy and have a good life, and have a loving relationship, and have a family, and things like that. Whatever righteous desires of your heart, that's what they want for you, and you deserve it, no matter what you've done in your past."

"  Coming back to reclaim my life, it was line upon line. That was not a quick process. Between when I started my mission to getting healed...I was a different person.

" When I rooted my identity in the Lord like I never have before, I realized that I am not the carnal desires of my body... "Therefore, crucify the lusts of the flesh and walk in the spirit." (Gal 5:5). As I've done that, I have come to realize full-heartedly, I am not my sexuality... In the scriptures it says freedom comes where the spirit of the Lord is, and freedom comes when sin is no longer your master. I have experienced freedom from same-sex attraction. It doesn't mean that God came and removed the thorn in my side, but it means that when I walk in His Spirit, I can stand immovable and unwavering in the face of temptation as Jesus did."

"We have a Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ who love us, and we're good enough. Nobody gets to tell us who we are, including ourselves when it's terrible. Because Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ's opinion is the only thing that matters. I'm learning to really take that on and to really know for myself that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks of me but them, and as long as I'm trying my best, it's okay."

" No amount of scripture reading, praying, mission serving, nitpicking your husbanding is going to save you. It's not. Having a relationship with your Savior, Jesus Christ, and your Heavenly Father will. If you know that they love you, and if you let that in, it will change your life in a way that nothing else will."
