This week was transfer calls. Me and one of my companions made it out alive, but Sister Hall did not. So the trio will be no longer, and I'll stay in Wells/Sanford with my other trainer Sister Westling. I had a few paragraphs typed up about some trivial things we did this week but it wasn't important. Today I want to bear my fervent testimony about the Church of Jesus Christ.
I'm grateful for this gospel. I'm grateful for the comfort and peace it brings into our lives. I'm grateful that we can know of it's truthfulness for ourselves through study, prayer, and the Spirit. The more you study it and live it, the simpler it is and the more it makes sense, and testifies of a LOVING God in Heaven who wants EACH AND EVERY ONE of His children to be happy.
The Introduction of the Book of Mormon says that if we pray about the Book of Mormon we WILL gain a witness of it's truthfulness through the power of the Holy Ghost, and "those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit WILL also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the Lord's kingdom once again established on the earth." This is a promise to every honest seeker of truth. All we must do is study it out for ourselves and ask God with a sincere heart, and real intent, if it is true.
This church is true. It is headed by the Savior himself. We don't ask people to take our word for it, we ask them to find out for themselves. I have been called by the prophet to literally represent Jesus Christ, to say the things he would say and do the things he would do if he were teaching the same people I were. As a representative of Jesus Christ, I declare that I am Christian. It is only through the grace of Jesus Christ that we are saved, and all he asks is that we "come and follow [him]." My testimony and love for the Savior and his eternal sacrifice for me personally is deeper than I can express. Jesus Christ is the son of God and the Savior of you and me.
Love,
Sister Welling
