My Testimony

As I reflect back on my own individualized testimony of the Book of Mormon and how much it has grown, even over just the past few months, and now seeing where my testimony of the Book of Mormon is now... is absolutely amazing! I truly feel a deeper love and power that is contained within this wonderful book! I know without a doubt that this book contains the word of God and was brought forth by the prophet Joseph Smith. He sacrificed everything for the Lord, so that He could be such a tremendous hand in bringing about the Lord's purposes. I am so grateful for his sacrifice and for the devotion and love he had in the work of which he was apart. I know that I am deeply blessed to have such a loving Heavenly Father who would bring forth such a life-changing book for all of us here in the latter-days, to ponder and to read each and every day. I know it helps start off my day right. I know it is true. Every word. The Book of Mormon is a guide to help us reach our ultimate goal, to have eternal life and to live with our Heavenly Father once again. Right now, as your choose to walk this path, you may be forgiven completely of your sins through baptism done by the proper priesthood authority of God. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is what makes this ALL possible for us. He does not ask us to do it alone. He is always with us along the path through mortality, and sends us the greatest gift we could ever have in this life. The gift of the Holy Ghost, which remains as our constant companion through life to receive direction and power through God's hand. Today, in this moment, read the Book of Mormon to find out for yourself the truth of which it holds.

Music of the Gospel

"The music of the gospel is the joyful spiritual feeling that comes from the Holy Ghost. It brings a change of heart." Elder Wilford W. Andersen
One day driving to a teaching appointment, this beautiful song came on-Forever Changed. As I listened to these words, they expressed the very words I felt! These 18 months of serving were the hardest thing I loved to do. Even on the hardest of days, a song would come on that I felt was just for me in that moment. He has spoken to my heart and my mind through song, scriptures, conference talks and many times through other people. Because of Him, everything truly will be all right. The Savior taught, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
I am so grateful for a loving Savior who would love me the way He does. To volunteer Himself as a ransom for all mankind. And by the shedding of His blood, our imperfect bodies could become perfect. He gives me strength to keep going. Day by day, I come to know more perfectly the hope that comes from a Savior who rose from the tomb. I loved my mission! I miss it! This opportunity to serve as a representative of Jesus Christ has blessed me in more ways than I can describe and in ways I never could have anticipated. Thank goodness I am only in the middle of my mission. :) Because of Him and the wonderful people I am blessed to meet, I am forever changed.
