Today was fast Sunday at church. I didn't think much about bearing my testimony today mainly because I usually don't think that I have a strong testimony. However tonight I was thinking that maybe I really do... I was thinking about how much I have learnt this past year. I have learnt so much about the history of the church because I have been reading The Work & The Glory that Traci sent over. I feel like I know Joseph Smith personally from reading about him and the restoration of the Church.
I have learnt so much about the Gospel from attending Sunday school classes. I have learnt even more from reading the Book of Mormon. In fact the family has just started reading Ether tonight. We only have around 22 chapters left until we have finished reading it altogether. I am so grateful to the Bishop for challenging us to read the BOM. It's taken us about 6 and a half months to get this far but it has been worth every minute of our time.
I love the fact that everyone in our ward is so loving and welcoming. They accepted us into the fold without hesitation and with such warmth that I felt like I belonged there. It was almost like coming home. I truly believe that if it wasn't for that fact we may not have continued going back every week.
So even though I thought that I didn't have a testimony I really do. It may not be as strong as other peoples but it's there none the less and it is growing all the time whether I realise it or not. Who knows, maybe in the near future I may even get up and bear my testimony for all to hear.
