My heart is bursting with a testimony of Jesus Christ and the atonement that he enabled for every person on Earth to return to our Heavenly Father and have eternal life. How Joseph Smith is a true prophet that spoke with God the Father and His son Jesus Christ in the Sacred Grove. That Joseph Smith carried out instructions to bring the true and restored gospel back on Earth in the Latter Days. That the true priesthood was restored with Joseph Smith. That we still are given that living prophet in President Thomas S. Monson is something that makes my soul sing, because I know that My Father in Heaven is with us and guiding us.
I get to spread that restored gospel to whom ever will listen to me in the Denver, Colorado mission. I am so excited to have that chance. My going to the temple is an integral step in full filling this newly acquired goal - well relatively newly acquired.
I keep thinking of the peace and the love I feel when I am in the Temple. I have amazingexperiences when I am there already and this will open up so much more for me.
The truly amazing thing is that not to long ago the idea of going through the Temple freaked me out big time. We have entire classes for preparing someone to take this step. I attempted to take one - I got half way through before I had a small panic attack and refused to ever go again. It was not until very recently that I got over that. I continually get confirmation that this is the best thing for me.
"My brothers and sisters, temples are more than stone and mortar. They are filled with faith and fasting. They are built of trials and testimonies. They are sanctified by sacrifice and service."-Thomas S. Monson
