I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior.

I think that’s the greatest gift my Heavenly Father could ever give me—a knowledge, an understanding of the reality of His Son, of the sacrifice He made for me. All other things testify of Him, I’m coming to learn that. I know that it is only in and through Him that I can be made free of my sins, of my afflictions, of my imperfections, of myself. It is only through Him that I can take part in my inheritance as a daughter of my Heavenly Father. “We are in reality Kings and Queens, princes and princesses” (President Uchtdorf). He is my Hope. He is my Life. I would not BE if it were not for Him. My love for the gospel grows so much everyday. I love spending my time serving others, and teaching with the Sister Missionaries. My testimony has grown 100% since I got out here in New Jersey. Actually living in the mission field really does something to you :) Something incredible beyond all reason. I wonder sometimes If I would be a good missionary... Then I realize, Hey I have a testimony, I know the church is true, and I love sharing it with others. I almost think thats enough. I know a mission is for everyone willing to give up their life and serve the Lord. Now it is my time to figure out if I am willing to do that. Its not going to be an easy decision, especially considering how perfect life is right now for me on the East Coast. But its a decision I know I need to make.... So wish me luck. Thanks a bunch!

My Sister Scoville got transferred last week :( She has truly became one of best friends in the world, yet somehow I feel at peace. I feel as if the Lord has comforted me and let me know that her work here is finished, that she has found who she was called here to find, and that I was lucky to have her here for the time I did. It is her job now to go touch others lives the way she has touched mine and so many others here in Morristown. I know that she is doing the Lord’s work. I know He knows what we need and where we need to be. And, if we let Him, He will help us receive a fullness of joy…we just have to turn our will over the Him. I love her and hope to have her friendship Forever!!
