Haha Is It My Mission Already?

I bore my testimony in Young Women's today. I cannot believe how much my life has changed since Oct 12, 2008. I am gonna be a dorky mormon right now and just bear my testimony (again) but this time on Patriarctical Blessings. I have prayed more, cried more (in a spiritual sense), felt the spirit more, and grown to love my Heavenly Father more in the last three months just because of two pages of personal revelation. I can't stress enough how important this blessing is. If Your not a member and reading this, I can't not explain to you what the Gospel is to me. My friend once asked me "but what if you do all this just to find out it isn't true?" meaning everything I do every day just for my religion and if you think about it, nothing the LDS church asks harms you if you don't have a testimony or don't believe it. 1.Praying, without a testimony this seriously could just be a outlet for when your depressed or hurt or confused but I also know if you ask with "a mustard seed of faith" that someone is listening or soemone cares, you will get an answer. D&C 82:10 The Lord is bound when we obey. He asks us to pray and has told us he will answer...eventually. Don't expect an immediate answer but I know you will at least feel the spirit. Because the Lord has said He will answer when we pray, if we obey Him and pray He can't not answer. Do you understand that? He has to answer. If He doesn't (eventually) then everything else He has taught isn't worth crap. 2. The commandments or "rules" whatever you wanna call them. What harm is it to be a good person? All the commandments are saying is "Be a good person" Why is that so hard or unreasonable? 3. Tithing, ok Yes I can understand how hard giving up money can be if you don't have a testimony but its tax deductable. I can't think of anything else right now that sticks out that we, as a church, do differently except going to the temple. If you don't have a testimony, I'm sorry but this just isn't possible for you. The temple is a special privilege. I can't even go into the main part of the temple yet, but what goes on in the temple isn't harmful either. People attack the "Mormons" everyday when we are probably the nicest church out there. You can listen to them or you can listen to someone who lives it. I am always here to answer questions and if I can't answer them, I can sure find someone who can. Whew. So yeah, anyway, I start school again tommorow. SOOO excited. I know that sounds weird but I miss ghetto Ol' Kino.

Go Kolts!
