Before I was at Quakerdale I was not a Christian. I went to church, but I really never took it to heart. I walked into Quakerdale with no faith in God at all. I would curse at people. I did not believe in God what-so-ever then when I came to Quakerdale about a month into my stay at the Promise Home Quakerdale Chaplain Dave Holm asked me if I accepted God. Of course I said no and then I asked, “How do you do it?” He asked me if I would like to know how and I said, “Yes”. He told me to, “Pray to God and ask for forgiveness” then he asked me, “Would you like to say yes?” I agreed and then we prayed. Three months later I talked to my sister and asked her if she ever accepted God and she said no. I asked her if she would like to. Then, she asked, “How do I do it” and I said, "You pray to God for forgiveness." I asked her if she would like to and she said, “Yes” and then we prayed. Inside I was thinking one more person is going to heaven because of my faith in God.
