Testimony:  My testimony begins with hearing the missionaries teaching me about Heavenly Father’s plan. My spirit told me that I had heard this all before in a council meeting somewhere. I could not remember nor recall attending any such meeting in all of my fifteen years. But I could not deny that feeling. After a year and a half I was baptized. Though I struggled with the change in my life, I ultimately knew it was true and could not deny my testimony. I have felt the overwhelming love from my Father, my Savior and the Holy Ghost in my life. The gospel is true because I have felt the truth and also because the gospel of Jesus Christ has the keys to the saving ordinances.
