I don't express it often, but my testimony of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is one of my most prized possessions.<br /><br />It is my testimony, that God, our Eternal Father, <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">lives</span></span> today. He listens to and answers every one of our prayers, maybe not the way we would expect, but he <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">does </span></span>answer. He <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">loves</span></span> each of us unconditionally, so much so that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to atone for our sins so that we, together with our families, may live <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">together forever</span></span> with them. Jesus Christ is my brother. He is my Savior and Redeemer and his blood spilled for each and every one of us. He <span style="font-weight: bold;">lives</span> today and is the head of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.<br /><br />I know that God and His Son, Jesus Christ, visited Joseph Smith and <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">restored</span></span> the gospel upon the earth through him. Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon from ancient records and this book helps <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">testify</span></span> of Jesus Christ and His love for each of us. We have a prophet <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">today</span></span> in Thomas S. Monson, who communicates with God <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">constantly</span></span>. I am so thankful for the <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">revelation </span></span>that God sends through him, as well as to me personally.<br /><br />I am so <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">thankful </span></span>for the blessings I have received from my Heavenly Father as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. Many of my prayers have been <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">heard </span></span>and <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">answered</span></span>. My love for the gospel continues to <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">grow </span></span>each and every day. I am so thankful for a family that <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">loves </span></span>me as much as I love them. God has <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">blessed </span></span>us immensely!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2306024398868722477-301287342608305601?l=kylelmaxfield.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
