Amazing Day

First off, church was amazing today!!

Usually I get all bored during fast and testimony meeting but this day was different. I felt the spirit so strongly as soon as we starting singing the opening song which was How Great Thou Art. Awesome song. I then was able to hear the testimonies of those in my ward. Pretty much all the girls in my FHE family bore their testimonies and it made me love them even more. We were challanged by one young man to reread the first vision of Joseph Smith and to get down on our knees and to prayer to our Heavenly Father to know that this is true. We were also invited to thank Heavenly Father for all that we have. One sister shared a quote that read, " what if you woke up one morning and could only have the things that you thanked Heavenly Father for the night before?" It made me realize that I should be more grateful for the things that I have, both little and big. We then had a good sunday school lesson taught by one of my FHE sisters. It was on pure religion, and it was great lesson and from it I took that we should be "slow to speak, and swift to listen." We then ended the block of meetings with get to you know games in relief society. It was great to learn more about the people that are around me in my every day life. After church I got set apart as a Family History Ward Indexer. So far I love the calling!!

Oh, and HAPPY 15th Birthday to my sister Danielle!! Hope your day is awesome. Wish I could be there to help celebrate.

Tonight we are having our home teachers, and a friend over for dinner. Should be really fun to get to know them better!!

I am extremely grateful for this gospel and for all that it brings into my life. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet of God and that he speaks the truth and we should heed to his counsel. I have a testimony of the power of the Priesthood, I have seen it work miracles in my life as well as in the lives of those around me. I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God and that ever since I have been studying it this semester, it has strengthened my testimony of this restored gospel. I know that Patriarchal Blessings are and can be a road map for our lives and that by following it, we will be able to return to our Father in Heaven.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

- As you can see so far my day has been great and I hope to be able to continue writing in my blog on a weekly basis if not on a daily basis.

Have a GREAT day and Week!!!! :)
