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.

So, I am gonna talk about the highlight of the week...... Gladys Knight and the Saints Unified Voices came down to Houston! They had performances Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! We went to the performances for 10 am showing on Saturday and then the final show at 7:30 pm Sunday night. Boy they rocked the house! I felt like I was in a Baptist Church! The whole time when they were rocking out I was wishing Deanna was here to stand clap and dance and say Hallelujah it was so SICK! Man that is one of the coolest highlights of my mission that is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity! It was 2 hours long and at the end Gladys Knight bore her testimony and conversion story and it was just so perfect for the people of Houston. I heard they got over 300 referrals from these performances so far! Gosh I am still on a Gladys high right now, I could hardly sleep last night.  I got up at 1:58 am and stayed up til a little before 4.  I just kept replaying that whole event in my head it was just so sick and powerful! Well gotta bounce But I love y'all!
