Sister Chatterton, Tina Cline & Sister Wall -
Conversion Story
Of
Tina Klein
Tina Kline grew up in the Rochester Area. She had a high school girl friend named Dale
Menditto. They both investigated many religions hoping to
find the truth. Dale joined the LDS
Church at age 19, was married and sealed in the temple and moved to
Arizona. Tina on the other hand married
a man named Bruce. Tina and Bruce chose
a life style far from the standards of the church. Even though Dale her best to interest Tina
she just was not interested. Then after
25 years of marriage Bruce died of
cancer(2009 Dayton Beach Florida). Tina loved her husband and missed him terribly. She soon became very depressed and wanted very
badly to change her live.
When Dale learned of Bruce’s death she called the LDS Bishop
of the area she was living. Bishop
Pillow of Daytona Beach Florida came and offered his support.
A short time later Tina returned to the Rochester area. She was still struggling with addictions and
depression. She was so down she decided it
was time to throw away all her drugs, coffee and anything that was bad and pray
for help. She was so committed, she
prayed all night on Nov 4th, 2011 asking God to help here find
peace. Assisted by her friend Dale she
went on line and found the address of the closest LDS Church which was
Rochester 1st Ward. She said
I was a mess when I walked into the building prior to the 9:30 Meeting time and
was met in the foyer by a man name of Ray Chrystal. She told him she needed help. Sensing her sincerity he said, “I know how
you feel” I am a convert myself and know how to help you. Let me introduce you to the Sister
Missionaries. Tina later described Ray
Chrystal as an angel. She said “he just glowed”. She continued, “I will always remember
him. He looked so much like his name, a
Chrystal”.
Sisters Wall and
Chatterton began teaching Tina and she was baptized on Dec. 24 th, 2011,
Christmas eve. She received her limited
use temple recommend this past week and is going to the temple to perform
baptisms for the dead for her husband, her mon and her grandmother. She said, “I cannot wait. My feet are not even touching the floor right
now. I have walked up to that temple
door many times to just touch it. I
cannot wait to go in.”
She will be sealed to her husband in less than a year.
She is so pleased with her new life.
