Always Testify

Greatest. Thing. Ever.

Our mission president and his wife are pretty great. They also have five AMAZING daughters that came with them as they serve for the Tennesee Nashville Mission. We love their girls so much! For a long time, we have been wanting to take them on visits to see some of the people we teach. So last night Sister Valentine and I had the opportunity to go on SPLITS for the first time! This is when missionaries take other members of the church with them and split up. The three oldest girls were able to come teach with us. Sister Valentine took two of the girls to go visit some people and I went with the oldest to another scheduled appointment. This has been the first time in nine weeks that Sister Valentine and I have been separated outside of interviews with the mission president.

I must admit that I was scared to death.  For the first time on my mission, I would be leading the lesson. I was hoping and praying that I would be able to keep the lesson on track and at least accomplish some teaching . We got into the lesson, had a prayer, and began talking about the Book of Mormon. We talked about how Christ instituted the sacrament. Kylie was so spectacular! She shared such a powerful testimony on why taking the sacrament is important. She has such a strong testimony and she is one of those people who you can tell always has the Spirit with her to bless her life.

Really and truly our testimony of the Church is all we have. When our faith is centered in Jesus Christ, people can try to disprove and degrade His life and teachings, but what the Spirit testifies to us still remains, and we continue to know always that God is our loving Heavenly Father and Christ has made the way for us to return to Him.  

Your challenge: find some way in which you can share your testimony with others . "If necessary, use words." -Saint Francis of Assisi

Have an action-packed day!
