okay well here i go .
the first time that i really got to feel the spirit that i remember is one of my first years at girls camp when we were reading the joseph smith history. i really got to truly know how he was feeling, i had heard the history of him so much but this time it just stuck. i dont know if it was the fact that we were away from all the junk of the earth or if it was the leader holding it i just really was impressed of his actions. i didnt really go thourgh those feelings since i was born into the chruch , but i was thinking about what if i wasnt born into the church who would i be? and how my family would be? it was hard for me to even start to think about the struggles joseph smith went through and even with all that he still was apart of the church. another time when i was really touched by the joseph smith history was when i was at temple pagent. that just blew me away . the spirit with each song just grew every time i heard and sang them. i just came to tears some night while singing them because the strong spirit. i know all the experiences that i have had with in hearing joesph smith has made my spirit what it is today . im glad that i have been blessed to be born into the church because i know that if i didnt have it i just would be an extreemly lost. also the strenght of my friends who are in the church and who care about me has helped me want to go to church. i say this in the name of jesus christ amen.

id be happy to! i think that throughout my life the thing that has helped me most with my testimony are the friends around me that give me and example. People who are strong in the church are so humble. My sister has especially been an example because i know that she is extremely humble, even though at home we dont have a full parental influence on the church. You know when you go through that stage (most of us) where your not sure of the church and your in between relying on another testimony and your own, well i think that area in my life came to a close during the stake youth conference. i really felt the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. ever since then i have devoted my life to trying to be like christ. my favorite part of the scriptures is doctrine and covenants, i find it amazing that Joseph Smith got to hear direct revelations so often about starting and maintaining the church. i am so grateful for him, and i dont know very many 14 year old boys that are as brave as him. (well maybe tanner and pj) And i know that a lot of people would agree that Stake play was also a major turning point in my life, my testimony is stronger than it has ever been, and i owe that partly to you guys. i love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. i am so grateful to be on the earth in this generation and in this country. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Re: Value Project -- me, 15:46:08 07/02/03 Wed
OK...here goes...
I grew up being a punk. I was a disobedient lil' kid who got into trouble just 'cause...I had more family problems than I cared to face, and then one night i hit rock bottom. I was kicked out of my house, I was getting crappy grades in classes I could be getting A's in, my boss was angry at me, and I felt like I didn't have many real friends. That weekend, I talked with my church counsellors, priesthood advisors, and quorum leaders. This was pretty much the first time that I spent the time to figure out my life and the Lord's importance in it. I knew that the Lord still loved me, and that what Christ would do was to face the problems, and forgive those who hurt him. There was a boy, back in the early 1800s who read the bible, and acted on it's teachings. By doing this, he began the ressurection of the Lord's Church on the Earth, and started the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as we have it today. This knowledge brings me the greatest peace when I really need it. When life it at its most troubled, the church and God's precious creations will bring us closest to Him. The feeling you get when you hear a plain and simple, but beautiful truth is the same happy feeling you get when you hold a little baby, or spend time with the people you love.
I'm probably rambling by now, but the point is, the Church is true. It has been restored to the earth in these latter days, and we are here to usher in the second coming of Christ. I am struggling to be worthy to live with my eternal companion in the Celestial Kingdom, and be in his presence again. I urge anyone whos having trouble reading the entire Book of Mormon, or is working on their testimony to read the Pearl of Great Price. (JS-Matthew, JS-History, Abraham and Moses, and the Articles of Faith.
I love you all, thankyou for being the spiritual support that I've needed.
-me.
