byufan4everI didn't realize that Eric Mika played an important part.
In 2016, he began his BYU career. One day, the Cougarâs star center, Eric Mika, asked the young freshman how he felt about the Church. Childs told his teammate that he had read and prayed about the Book of Mormon. He knew that it was true.
âThen we need to get you with the missionaries,â said Mika, a returned missionary.
Soon Childs was meeting with a trio of sister missionaries. âAnd Eric was with me through that whole journey.â
And his then girlfriend and now wife Megan of course was instrumental as well.
The two began dating. Months later, they knew they were in love. âWe sat down, and Megan told me, âJust so you know, Yoeli, Iâm getting married in the temple.ââ
Childs began attending Church meetings with Megan and her family. He wanted to share his life with Megan, but he also knew a true testimony was an individual matter. His decision to embrace the gospel would be between him and the Lord.
