“A testimony is a most precious possession because it is not acquired by logic or reason alone, it cannot be purchased with earthly possessions, and it cannot be given as a present or inherited from our ancestors. We cannot depend on the testimonies of other people. We need to know for ourselves. President Gordon B. Hinckley said, ‘Every Latter-day Saint has the responsibility to know for himself or herself with a certainty beyond doubt that Jesus is the resurrected, living Son of the living God.”

― Dieter F. Uchtdorf

So Ive not blogged in awhile ... Lifes pretty amazing right now, I have some amazing people in my life that make everything so worth while. Ive learnt that life is far too short and that I need to live it to its fullest.

Church life is super amazing, I had the pleasure of doing a talk last week about the Joy of service. I spoke about a story of a young man giving up his time of study to spend it with his grandmother who was in the final stages of her mortal life, this story really touched me .. what he did was such a selfless act of service and love for his grandmother. It made me think about whether or not I do enough for those around me. My talk really has inspired me to do more for those around me, espaecially my mum.

The main reason for my blog this evening is to talk about testimony. Testimony plays a huge part in my life, without it I wouldnt be the strongest Latter-day Saint that I am today. It is so important that you obtain yoiur own testimony of the gospel and heavenly father and so on as that is your starting foundation.

I am truly blessed that Ive been able to recognise my own testimony and love for gospel since the age of 11. When I first had the discussions with the missionaries I knew from then that the church was true and the Book Mormon was true. Such an amazing feeling when you know! Believe me!

Over the years Ive faced many different types of trials, some minor and some utterly heartbreaking. Sometimes I may have swayed from the Gospel but the one thing that has always pulled me back is my testimony. How could I walk away from the Gospel knowing that it was true, how could I walk away from my loving Saviour? Luckily I saw the light so to speak and im here and my testimony is ever growing ... When you obtain a testimony it doesnt just stay the same .. each day it progesses and becomes stronger.

I love my Saviour and im so grateful for the testimony that I have of our gospel. I know that as long as I do whats right and I hold on to that Iron rod Heavenly Father will provide so many amazing things for me. I can truly testify that this is the true gospel and that 9 years ago I made the best choice of my life and I wouldnt change it for the world.

Heavenly Father loves us no matter our flaws, he will never leave us. I love my friends and family so much.

Amen  & God Bless x
