Its the first week of the downward slope and thats kinda weird. Life has been good over this past year and I've learned so much about why we're here and what we need to do.
In this email, as I pass my year mark, I just want to bear a testimony I didn't have as strongly a year ago. Things I might not have known before- and if I did it definitely wasn't to the degree it was now. I can say that I know that God lives. That God is our Father and He knows you and me personally and perfectly. That He is merciful and the best way that we can start to comprehend that mercy, is to try and understand the gift of His Son. God sent His son to die for us, and not just so that we can be cleansed, but so that we can be perfected. So that we can return to the Father and gain Eternal Life. To have the same kind of life He does. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and my comfort and my strength. I know that as we need help we can pray and He is there. I can say with my whole heart that God answers prayers - that He wants to bless us and sometimes all we need to do is ask. I know that we all have things we need to do on this earth, and I have come to recognize the importance of saving ordinances by priesthood power. I know that Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ and was called as a prophet of God. I know we have a living prophet on the earth today and his name is Russell M Nelson. Finally, I can say with my whole heart that I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's kingdom on earth today. The one true church of Jesus Christ on the earth. and I leave this with you in the name of my Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
