I can’t believe it’s been four years since I came home from my mission! ✈️
The time has gone by so fast and a lot has happened but it feels only like last year... at the most!
My mission was a life changing experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything. My mission brought me closer to my Savior.
It allowed me to see thousands of people the way Christ sees them- even if only for a moment. It taught me about Christlike love.
I loved sharing the of gospel with others. I loved seeing others change their lives as they became closer to Christ.
My mission brought so much goodness to my life and I am grateful for it everyday (not exaggerating).
I will forever love My California ❤

How My Testimony Has Grown:
I hate to admit it but my scripture study had really fallen off the band wagon.
I knew of the power, peace, and revelation it has previously brought to my life, but I was still struggling to
dedicate the time to study them- not just read. When I was on my mission one thing I was looking forward to
about coming was was spending more time reading the scriptures. But real life kicked in and it became hard!
Without reading my scriptures I noticed a huge change in my life.
I was more ornery and unhappy. That is not what I wanted for my life.
I started making a bigger priority of reading the scriptures on my own and with Andrew. The difference that has made!
Our marriage became stronger, we share more spiritual things together, I was happier and less likely to
rash out irrationally (name the movie).
The scriptures are really powerful as the words come from God. I need God in my life and without reading His word,
it makes it difficult to receive revelation. I know the scriptures have been written for us and I needed them more than I realized.
When I set aside time to read the scriptures there is a feeling that comes to our lives that cannot be duplicated by the world.
I gave gained revelation for my live and have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the gospel.
And the new Come Follow Me program that we have been doing this past month has only enhanced my scripture study time.
I love it. It has brought me so me so much peace, joy, comfort, revelation, growth, love for others and my Savior.
The power of the scriptures are unreal.
I also want to share about how much I love President Nelson and how I know that he is the prophet on the earth today.
Not for one minute have I felt unsure (like I did when President Monson became the prophet).
I have felt so much power from President Nelson and I know there have been some changes but it's amazing how
those changes have changed my life for better, even in such a short amount of time. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior
and that He leads His church by giving us President Nelson to guide and help us grow.
I absolutely love this gospel. I love the growth it brings to my life and the fact that I can try again, over and over.
"Living after the manner of happiness," is the best way to grow closer to the Savior because
if there is no righteousness there is no happiness.
