For Ronald McClain, interest in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was a gradual process.

He recalls that as a law student at University of California-Davis, a female law student caught his eye. As they became friends, he learned that she was a member of the church. He and Deena Peterson eventually married in 1982.

Although his wife was not active in the church when they married, that soon changed.
