It's hard to write and really express my
feelings of this great adventure I have been on. I would like to share with you my testimony.
Before my mission I felt and thought I had a
testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout my life I was fortunate to
be blessed with great teachers and mentors who taught me good principles and
lessons. In a way I was able to create my testimony before my mission based on
listening to others. The great miracle of my mission is that I have obtained my
own testimony.
I know with all my heart that the Book of
Mormon is the word of God as well as the Bible. I know its message has been
written for each and everyone of us and can answer all of our questions. I'm a
witness that as the book says, the way will always be prepared for us to
accomplish the will of our loving Father In Heaven. He will always prepare a
way for us to choose the right and keep the commandments. I know that we
lived with Our Father In Heaven before this earth and that we choose to come
here to be tested. I know at times obstacles and trails in life can feel
unbearable, but we need to remember the message in the scriptures. From 1 Cor.
10:13 we read that all that the trials we confront, we can conquer. We will be
able to overcome all things. I'm eternally grateful to Our Father In
Heaven who sent Jesus Christ who atoned for each and every one of us. I have
learned no one is perfect and that we all make mistakes. At times when we think
no one knows how we feel. We need to remember that our loving brother Jesus
Christ does and that he suffered all of our pains and afflictions. I know that
He loves us and that He knows better than we do in all things. I know He lives.
I know Joseph Smith Saw The Father and The Son. That he restored the church of
Jesus Christ. I know that because of his hard life that he lived made it easy
for me to be apart of this church today. I’m grateful for the faith he had to
ask Our Father which church was true. I know like Joseph Smith that our beloved
prophet Thomas S. Monson is called of God and that he receives revelation for
each of us. I know in this life that with the help of Our Father In Heaven and
if we have faith we can do all things. There will always be those who say you
can’t or that your goal is impossible. I have found that those who doubt you
usually are those who know you can and are scared you will complete your goals.
With hard work and faith you can do anything. I know and I testify, because I
have seen the hand of God touch peoples hearts that these things are true and
that He loves us. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
