What feels like a million years ago......

What feels like a million years ago I was a representative of the LDS church, serving a LDS mission in a wonderful but VERY Catholic part of the great state of Indiana. Being a missionary is something that shaped my life and is something that I think about daily. There is not a day that goes by that I am not reminded of someone or something from my mission.

One of the things that I loved on my mission was the copious amounts of study time. The time was spent learning all I could about the Savior, His mission and the purpose of His plan. It also gave me a chance to learn about the others around me.

Learning and seeing other religions view on Easter and how religiously devoted they are to their religion made me even more amazed at the purpose and role of the Savior.

As a missionary it was nothing to share my testimony. I did it all the time. As a member of the church I don't share it enough.

On this Easter weekend, I wanted to publicly share my testimony and share with you a clip of an apostles view of the sacred event.

I know that God lives, and that He loves us. I know that Jesus is the Christ. I know that we have a prophet that leads and guides us. I have a testimony of the power of the Priesthood. I know that having a husband that is able to give blessings has been one of the reasons that we have seen so many miracles in our lives. I know that because Jesus Christ did walk alone I don't have to. I know that he suffered so that he may know how to comfort me. I know that when I pray he is there to listen and he will answer.

The message from Elder Holland is one of the most moving I have heard in a long time. Please take the time to listen.
