All of us LDS know the challenge and have indeed challenged many a person to try it.

It involves prayer and interpreting a response to that prayer. LDS will challenge investigators to try out the teachings in one's mind and heart and then inquire of God if these things are not true.

Not being anybody else but myself, but also having heard the statements of many a testimony, answer if you wish and answer not if it's too personal, but what was the nature of your prayer and how did you interpret your answer.

By that I mean, what was the level of specificity in detail and how specific did you interpret the answer. Later, I'll provide my personal answer but I'm curious have varied our experiences are.

Truthfully I didn't take the challenge quite as it was set forth. The idea of just praying about it and getting a warm fuzzy feeling wasn't quite good enough for me, so I took another approach, but the end result was still a solid testimony.
