I am a Latter Day Saint

I know that God lives and loves us with all his heart. I know that his Son, Jesus Christ, came to Earth to pay for the sins of the world and to show us the way to live our lives. I know that because of Him we can live again in Heaven with them. I know that Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son and he knew it, and he knew that God knew it and he could not deny it. I am so glad that he brought this lost Gospel back unto the world. I am so grateful for the Priesthood keys and for revelation that we are blessed with today. I am grateful for the Book of Mormon that shares wonderful stories of strength and truth and that guides me in my life today. I know that it is indeed another testament of Jesus Christ. I am especially grateful for my knowledge of the sweet plan of salvation. I am so grateful that I will never ever not be with my family forever. I can thank my amazing parents for this. I love my family more than anything on this earth I pray that someday they will accept and find the joy that the gospel is constantly bringing into my life. I have found so much joy and hope in the gospel that I want to share with the world. Each time I see someone come unto the gospel, I rejoice because I know that not only that soul, but many others will be changed because of that one soul.

I know that God loves me and I see it in my everyday blessings. I see it in the beautiful landscapes and the nature all around me. I see God in my friends and in strangers who have shared their smiles with me. I see God in all that I do and just like Joseph Smith, I cannot deny it. I know that my trials are there to make me stronger and more capable of sharing and relating with others. My trials have brought me closer with Heavenly Father.

This is the Gospel of kindness; the Gospel of love; this is the precious Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know this church is true and I am grateful for the influence it has in my life.

This is my humble testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
