Ever since learning about the gospel my sophomore year in high school, I knew that there was no denying everything I know to be true. I’m so grateful for my best friend being so willing and brave to share her testimony. I know this is God’s true Church restored upon the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know that Christ loves me, so much that he would suffer and die for me personally. I know that temple marriage and the sealing thereof is true, and I continually work and strive to one day reach my goal of being married in the temple to my eternal companion. I know Thomas S. Monson is the current prophet of God. I know, without a doubt, that the Book of Mormon is true and is written for our day. This testimony did not come overnight and required much effort on my part and help from those around me. And I strive to strengthen it every single day. But when the rest of the world gets to be too much to handle, this gospel and it’s teachings, as well as my covenants I’ve made and have yet to make, give me something to steady myself on. Eternity has only begun. This I say humbly in the name of my Savior, and older brother, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
