this is who I am

Throughout the past few months this summer, my testimony has been strengthened incredibly.
Because of the great examples around me and those who consistently lead the way, I have grown closer to my Heavenly Father and have felt the love of Jesus Christ in my own life.

Those around me have made this gospel not just a part of their life, but who they ARE.

I know with every part of my soul and mind that this organization is what is true.
The Lord answers my prayers.  He answers all my questions, He comforts me when I am weary, He strengthens me in time of weakness, and through the Holy Ghost, I am directed in every single one of my decisions.

Without this gospel in my life, I would be much less of a "muchier" person.

I know who I am; I am a daughter of God.  Trials help me to become a stronger and better person; a witness of Christ.  I know what my purpose is in this life.  I know where I came from before I was born and where I am going after I pass away.

I know that I can live with my family eternally.  I know that it is only through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer that we can make it back to Him and our Heavenly Father.  I cannot wait to see them again.

I know that if I desire to choose the right, and if I make the effort to repent and consistently better myself and others, the Lord will forgive me of my sins.

I know that this gospel would not be complete without the Book of Mormon.  I know that Joseph Smith  is a Prophet, and that he is the one the Lord restored the gospel through.

I know that all that is light, joyous, and true is of God.  I know that all the answers we need are in the scriptures.  I know that through diligent studying of the scriptures and a consistent desire and action to develop my relationship with my Heavenly Father will help me to become a sincerely joyous being and that I will be blessed.

I know that the Lord is always with us.  I know that he protects us and that he embraces us with a hug when we need it.

I know that we can grow closer to Christ and our Heavenly Father in service to others around us.

I know that all the leaders of this Church are called of God, and that the Prophet is Thomas S. Monson.

I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true with all my heart.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
