I seriously can't believe that the time has gone by so fast! The moments i have experienced, the feelings i have felt, the adventures i have been on, the prayers that have been answered, the friendships i have made and the eternal principles i have to perfect have all been a testimony builder to me and have truly strengthened my understanding of so many things!
I know that Heavenly Father loves each us so much! He knows us personally and wants what is best for us! He has a plan for all of his children and wants to do whatever he can to assure we all return to him one day! He has given us so many tools in this life to make sure we have everything we need to return to him again!
One of those is our families! I love my family so much i am truly appreciate all the love and support they have given me throughout my life! I truly couldn't have made it as far as i have without each of them! God gave us families to teach us everything we would need to know in an atmosphere that is filled with love and happiness!
I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God! Christ church was restored by him in these latter days so we could have everything we need to be with our families forever and live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ once again! He truly saw God the Father and Jesus Christ and restored the Priesthood on the earth once again to fulfill his holy calling and to allow each of us to participate in covenants that will ensure our way back home! It is only through having faith in Jesus Christ, repenting daily,living up to and renewing our covenants each week through the sacrament, following the guidance of the Holy Ghost and enduring all the way to the end will we know for sure we have done all we have have done to return with our Father in Heaven! Living the gospel of Jesus Christ will bring peace, happiness, and joy not only in this life but for eternity! We will see the hand of the Lord in our lives and receive blessing beyond measure!
I know that everything happens for a reason and as we follow the will of the Lord and include Him in our everyday lives through prayer, scripture study, follow the prophet and apostles and living the commandments we will know that we are living how he wants us to and we are following his plan for us! These basic principles will allow us to feel his love daily and help us to receive answers to life's struggles and questions!
I know that the Book of Mormon is true! It is the keystone of our beliefs, our faith and our religion! It was translated by Joseph Smith by the power of God so we could have it today! It is evidence of Gods love for each of us and is one of the most important books we could ever read in our lives and will always bring peace to our soul and will lead us safely home! Anyone that reads this book will gain the witness that God knows and loves each of us, Joseph Smith is a true prophet and most importantly that Jesus Christ is our Saviour and Redeemer.
I know that my Saviour loves me! He is always there for us! He suffered for us and even if i was the only person on the earth he would have still come down and suffered and died for me because of his love! His sacrifice, The Atonement is what makes it possible for each of us to be cleansed, to overcome spiritual and physical death and one day live as our Father lives. His sacrifice makes salvation possible and with it we can overcome our sicknesses, pains, and trials! All that has happened in our lives and everything that will happen can be overcome with His help! As we truly rely on him we will see miracles in our lives and we will receive a peace and comfort we will find no where else!
I have loved every second of my mission. The good times and the bad times!I have gone through many experiences but i know that i have endured it all for the sake of Him who suffered it all for me! He is the truth and the light and i will be his disciple to the end! In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
