Well, I am so happy for you that you are going to try out the Bible! Believe me, this is the best decision you will ever make. The Lord loves you and wants you so much, and that's why He sent His Son to die for you. It says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." This may sound weird, but I feel very happy that you are afraid. What I mean by this is that God is tugging on your heart to pull you toward Him and I am overjoyed. I want to give you some advice, you choice of course, but this weekend, on Sunday at 8:00, 9:30, or 11:05 A.M., go onto this site: http://www.countrysidebible.org/ and watch the sermon. You only need to watch one. This church is amazing and the pastor is always challenging us to be in the word and grow in our faith.
About District Twelve, it is in another world, it's in the book The Hunger Games. Have you heard of it? I love books, so I decided to put that instead of where I actually live.
I hope this helped, if you have any questions please contact me I am happy to answer any questions!
