I'm getting closer and closer to my 6 months mark and I can't believe how fast time has flown. I think this past week was meant for me to realize and learn a lot of things. I look back at the person I was 6 months ago, 11 days before entering the MTC and it amazes me how much I have grown.
I have gained a burning testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me specifically and I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and my Redeemer. There is absolutely nothing I wouldn't give up for this Gospel. I love it so much! I have never felt the spirit so much in my life. I have never had so many conversations with my Heavenly Father. I am eternally grateful for all that Jesus Christ has done for me. I know He's real. I know He lives. He is not just someone that we talk about. He was actually here on the earth and He was here in the Americas.
I am thankful and blessed for all the people that have helped me realized this. But more importantly for the spirit that has born testimony to me that it is true! I think about the spirit a lot. So many people say that this is all fake, that its not true. That it is just a story that Joseph Smith made up. But I know and I testify in the name of Jesus Christ that that is not true. If this were all made up, we would not feel the spirit. We would not feel that peace and calming feeling whenever we sing hymns or when we read the scriptures. We wouldn't cry when people gave powerful testimonies.
I know with all my heart that this church is true. I know it with all my heart and I will never deny it. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
