Meet the Mormon (me).

A little earlier today I was feeling very discouraged. I felt that I didn't matter. That no one wanted to be my friend or talk to me. And that if I disappeared, no one would notice. It's pretty hard coming to a place where there are so many people, but I work and go to school full-time, so I don't get very many chances to actually get to know those people. So I felt lonely. After moping around for a few minutes and complaining to my mom over the phone, my roommate and I decided to go see a movie. Meet the Mormons was one that I had been wanting to see since it first came out, so that seemed like the best option. Walking into the movie, it seemed a little boring. But as the story progressed, it got better and better. By the end of the showing, I was in tears. The spirit was so strong. It improved my night exponentially. Right now my heart is so full and I feel like I need to share my testimony. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the most amazing thing in this world. The gospel is so incredible. I'm so grateful that I have this gospel in my life and that I have the opportunity to share it with others everyday of my life. I cannot express my love for Jesus Christ and what He has done for me. Some people say they don't know where they would be without the gospel in their lives, but I know where I'd be. I'd be dead. I would not be on this earth today. Through prayer and Christ, I was saved. Heavenly Father knows me. I know that He does, and that He loves me and every one of His children. I'm so grateful for the atonement and the power and effects it has had in my life. I love my church. I love my Heavenly Father. And I love His son Jesus Christ. I wouldn't trade my experiences and trials in this life for anything else in the world. I know that He lives, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.
