My ward had fast and testimony meeting today, with it being General Conference last week. I love to bear my testimony! Today, I was one of the first to stand up. I was so full of the spirit and my heart began to beat so hard, I just had to get up and express my feelings to everyone in attendance.
I am so grateful for this gospel and I know that we have the full truth restored to us today, through Joseph Smith, a prophet of God. I know that I am a daughter of a Heavenly King and I know that he loves me. My heart is so full of gratitude to my Heavenly Father and I know he is there with me every step of the way. The past 2 weeks have been incredible with so much happening. As I have put Christ first, I have received inspiration as to what comes second. I know that Heavenly Father does hear and answer my prayers. I am so grateful for the power that comes from reading the scriptures and how much can be learned from the prophets of old. I have found answer after answer just by reading its words. I know that our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God, here to guide and direct us along the path of righteousness!
In the words of Sister Ann M. Dibb of the General Young Women's Presidency:
Elder Craig G. Christensen stated:
"The Holy Ghost is a teacher and a revelator. As we study, ponder, and pray about gospel truths, the Holy Ghost enlightens our minds and quickens our understanding. He causes the truth to be indelibly written in our souls and can cause a mighty change to occur in our hearts.
"Behold, thou knowest that thou hast inquired of me and I did enlighten thy mind; and now I tell thee these things that thou mayest know that thou hast been enlightened by the Spirit of truth;
"Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart.
"Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am the same that came unto mine own, and mine own received me not. I am the light which shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.
I was touched by many of the words spoken during general conference, but by far, the highlight of the whole weekend was seeing my younger brother and his girlfriend take in the words being said. Just there presence was a big step and all it took was something as simple as making blueberry muffins and smoothies for breakfast to motivate them to stay.
I love this gospel and I KNOW it to be true!
