Today I talk with Amaya. Amaya is a student at BYU hoping to be in the nursing program. She talks about her experience growing up in a protective household that didn't let her have very much freedom. During COVID, Amaya's family became especially religious and she felt like that religion was forced on her and she could not ask questions about it. Eventually, Amaya moved out and into a home where there were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day-Saints. She began attending church meetings, meeting with the missionaries, and eventually decided to get baptized. Amaya began to attend BYU but found the community a surprising change from what she had known at home, and she had some very difficult trials while in her first semester at BYU. Amaya talks about the guilt involved with trials inflicted on you by another person, and talks about her experience trying to feel close to God after and during those trials. Amaya's testimony is so beautiful and I hope you all enjoy this episode.
