Mustard seed.

This is my first blog post ever and I couldn't think of a better way to start off than by sharing my testimony! I want you to know that I know that God is real. I know that I belong to the only true church on this earth. I know that my Savior died for me so I could strive to be like him and return to my Heavenly Father again. I know without a doubt that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus. I know that he was called to restore the gospel to the earth. I know that we are in the last days and I know that I am here to share the gospel. I have been blessed with the gift of the gospel since the day I was born. I would be so incredibly selfish if I didn't share what has been so graciously given to me. I know that you don't have to have a missionary tag to share that gospel. I know that the gospel brings REAL eternal happiness. I know that God lives and loves each and everyone of us. I know our Savior suffered for our sins and he know exactly what you are going through. He knows your struggles and your sorrows. He wants to help you if you just let him, and I promise he is there. You just need faith. "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matthew 17:20) When I was little, I had this necklace with a mustard seed on it. I lost it when I moved to St. George and I have been thinking a lot about that necklace lately and I actually found one at the store few days ago! I love the symbolism in it. When I think about the mustard seed, I think about Elder Holland's talk from the last conference. "Lord I Believe" is one of my most favorite talks I have ever heard. I read it at least once a week because of the power and conviction Elder Holland has. One of my favorite lines is, "The size of your faith or the degree of your knowledge is not the issue—it is the integrity you demonstrate toward the faith you do have and the truth you already know." I have had times in my life where I have completely leaded on The Lord and had to just trust that he would help me through a hard time. I promise that if you stay true to the faith you have and understand that you have to trust The Lord. I am going to start onto another topic if I don't stop so just know that The Lord loves you. The church is true. I mean that with every fiber of my soul. I could never deny the spirit I have felt. I testify that God lives and that Jesus died for us. I love the Gospel and I'm so grateful for the blessings I have. I don't know how people sign off on blogs sooo bye. 


I say these things in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ, amen.

K bye.
