Mi Testimonio muy simple

I wrote this out while in Mexico to practice to give it in sacrament meeting... jaja :)

Yo sé, con ninguna duda, que esta iglesia es la iglesia verdadera. Sé que José Smith fue un profeta llamado por Dios, y que nuestro profeta actual es Tomás S. Monson. Sé que el libro de mormón es un libro verdadero y la mejor guía para la vida que existe. Es la palabra de Dios. Sé que Dios nos ama mucho y conoce a cada persona íntimamente e individualmente. Sé que Dios oye nuestras oraciones y es consciente de nuestros problemas, y Dios quiere bendecirnos con todo. Sé que Jesucristo es el Salvador, nuestro hermano mayor, y el hijo de Dios. Sé que por la expiación de Cristo, todos puedan salvarse, si obedezcan las leyes del evangelio, guarden los mandamientos, y escuchen a la voz del espíritu santo. Estoy muy agradecida por las bendiciones que Dios me da.


translation: I know without a doubt that this is the true church. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet called of God, and that our current prophet is Thomas S. Monson, I know that the book of Mormon is a true book and the best guide to life that exists. It is the word of God. I know that God loves us very much and knows each person intimately and individually. I know that God heard our prayers and is conscious of our problems, and God wants to bless us with everything. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior, our older brother, and the son of God. I know that through the atonement of Christ, all can be saved, if they obey the laws of the gospel, keep the commandments, and listen to the voice of the holy spirit. I am very thankful for the blessings which God gives me.

Happiness, Your Heritage, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Link

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before."

"You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter."

"The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create."

"President Lorenzo Snow:.. “When you find yourselves a little gloomy, look around you and find somebody that is in a worse plight than yourself; go to him and find out what the trouble is, then try to remove it with the wisdom which the Lord bestows upon you; and the first thing you know, your gloom is gone, you feel light, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, and everything seems illuminated.”

"In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair; let us feel the silent prayers of others around us, and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers."
