a sweet testimony

"well, i'm very happy and loving the work! i'm just trying to keep getting better and better because there's SO much we can do to improve. i want you all to know that my testimony has grown so much! i knew it was true before, but i've come to recognize how amazing it is that we know this is true! there are SO many christian churches here, seriously one on every corner. and lots of people we talk to say we already have a church, we've already found Jesus, etc. i've realized how unique our message is . . . the message of the restoration! we have the authority of the priesthood on the earth! a living prophet! god still speaks to us! revelation hasn't ceased! i never knew how unique it was to know that until i came here. i know that joseph smith truly saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and that through him they restored their church on the earth. with the authority to perform all the ordinances we need to return to live with them and become like them. I know Jesus Christ lives, and knows us and our pains. He loves us so much. The power of the Atonement is real and we can apply it to every facet of our lives. I'm so grateful we know how to be together as a family forever. I'm excited to live my life in such a way that we can all reach our potential together. I love you all!!"
