another testiment of jesus christ

today two of the primary teachers came up to me.. first off sister edwards.. who does 90% of the wards work.. just go after any calling!!! people THINK i am a little rough around the edges.. maybe I am, but really I am all LOVE more so than it might seem at first..

maybe I dont know the book of mormon.. or even have a scripture memorized.. oh wait!! "and jesus wept"

but sister edwards was being funny.. saying.. can all my kids come play at your house??

she said something.. I cant remember.. but knowing you I just assume your excitement and loving to sing!!

but I ran into sister smith.. OH the jen smith!! so KIND!!
but she said that brother nuffer held up the book of mormon and asked "what is this"

you raised your hand and said..

"its the book of mormon another testiment of jesus christ"

she said you make me look good..

maybe a while back I might have taken pride in it..
but NOPE!!! it is ALL YOURS TO HAVE!!

as seriously I just dont even remember havning ever said that.. I read scriptures to you at night.. every night is a goal:)


here is what I will say!!!

from the SECOND jonah was placed in my arms!!!
I KNEW and FELT the awesome resposiblity to do my family right!!
I attended all meetings!!! many times.. I so thought of it as an outing.. a fun time.. to catch some spirit.. have no calling.. and get dressed up:) dress you up!!!
snuggle and love on you for 3 hours straight.. never putting you down:)

I remember bishop curtis extending a challege to the ward to read the entire book of mormon..
he even had made us book marks to mark off the chapter at a time..

this was truly my first time reading the book of mormon all by myself.. a sweet age of 26!!

I remember that year well.. I remember some very specific blessing that came to us!!!

I even asked my mom when the blessings came.. "OH MY GOSH... thank goodness I was reading the book of mormon!!"
what would have happened if I didnt???

what would have happened?? would the same blessing have come??
who is to say, doesnt really matter..
the point is my testimoney grew stronger!!!

I always attended meetings with you all.. it always felt good.. and NEVER a time.. I thought sure wish I would have not gone!!!

this is enteresting to me.. as there have been plenty of other times.. I have done things.. that I have come home feeling low.. or some other negative feeling..
but NEVER church!!

I love the gospel!!!
I love I KNOW what the truth feels and sounds like!!

so truly.. at a very young age.. I feel you just feel it.. I think you might have slept on a book of mormon and thur osmosis it got it..
thats awesome.. as no matter what path you choose.. no matter what your choices are..
you have a strong foundation of what is truth!!
THAT is a BLESSED truly!!!
