True conversion

I read an article a while ago that said there are three types of converts. The first type is converted to the missionaries, they like having them around for fun and feed off of their spirit. I wish I could tell you that I don't know anyone like this but sadly I do. I think we all do. The second type of convert is converted to another church member. Much like the first kind this one feeds off of the other persons spirit as well. They never gain their own testimony and can often be easily offended by other church members and go inactive. My old ward used to tell me they thought this was me. They thought that I was feeding off of my best friend and was only there for her. They were wrong. Shortly after I was baptized she went inactive but I kept going to church every Sunday. I craved the spirit that I felt there. I strived to grow my testimony, I read scriptures and conference talks daily. A few months after I was baptized I went to the temple to do baptisms and I craved to go back as often as I could  I wanted my endowments. This leads me to the third type of convert, the kind that I believe I am and that we should all strive to be, the kind who is truly converted to the gospel. They have their own testimony and it's strong. They want to be a light to others. I actually had a very good friend of mine tell me after I was baptized that I was trying to change everyone around me. However, that wasn't true. I only wanted everyone around me to feel the same joy that I felt. To understand that with God everything is better. Your burdens are lighter, nothing seems impossible anymore. Through Christ all things are possible. No matter how terrible of a sin you think you have committed, you can be forgiven. All of us whether we are born and raised Mormons or are converts should strive to be that third type. To have a strong testimony and be a light to others in need. Never once have I been ashamed to say I am mormon. In fact I want to tell everyone I meet.
I had the glorious opportunity before I moved to sit through lessons with one of my friends and watch her get baptized. I saw the change in her as she went from being a miserable chain smoker, heavy drinker, with the mouth of a trucker. To the good person she is today. I saw her find true happiness. That to me was the most amazing feeling in the world. I don't understand why if there is a way for us to be truly 100% happy that people ignore it. So many people have judged me for the path I chose but I would never go back to my old life. I am a true convert and a deciple of Christ.
