Today it finally hit home that I'm returning in a month. Up until the moment I gave my testimony, I was positive this would never end. I want to share with you guys my feelings today as we sat at the feet of a representative of our Savior. The biggest prompting I had was how God shapes us and molds us into the men and women he NEEDS us to be. Today I couldn't stop realizing how much I have grown in the Savior's loving care over the last two years. He has molded me in a way where I can be the best big brother and son I can be and one day in the future, a father and husband. I cannot thank you guys enough for you're example to me. Dad, your priesthood example and Mom, your never ending love and devotion that you have shown to me.
I want to share with you the 5 things that you have taught us to share in our testimonies, the difference this time being that I have a full testimony of each of these aspects.
1. I know that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ.
2. I know we have a prophet today and he leads and guides this church.
3. Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God and he restored the gospel in its fullness to the earth.
4. I know the Savior lives.
5. I know that I will be with my family for eternity and nothing can separate us.
Mom, I want to end by saying I love you so much and I want to thank you for your never ending patience with my shortcomings. You have always seen me for who I am and I love you so much for that! I love you mom, happy birthday!!
