My Testimony

My Testimony:
I know that the Atonement is real and that we can all enjoy the cleansing power that it provides. I am grateful for my Savior for performing the Atonement so that I can return to my Father in Heaven. I am grateful for missionary service. I am thankful that missionaries world-wide have the opportunity to bring the fullest blessings of the Atonement to faithful children of God. I know that the Bible and The Book of Mormon are inspired scriptures and are here for our behalf. I owe everything to all of those prophets of old that loved us so much and desired so much for our salvation to write down the words on how we can be saved. We are literally children of a loving Heavenly Father and He wants us to return to Him. I know that Jesus is the Christ. And I love the joy the gospel brings with the knowledge that we can be together with our families for all eternity.

Mother's Day Call

We all got to talk to Cory on the phone for about an hour on Mother's Day.  He called at about 9:30 our time and since some family members weren't even awake yet I told him we would call him back.  Realizing we would be talking for an  hour and everyone would get hungry I decided to start breakfast so we could eat quickly before calling him back.  He got a little worried in the meantime and ended up calling us back.  It all worked out and it was good to hear his voice and have some direct interaction with him. The highlight was ending the call with a family prayer together.
