Closing song today in sacrament meeting. Such a good message. I really felt the third verse. Lead me home.

Fast and testimony meeting today. Always so good. I love hearing the testimonies. This Draper ward has such smart diverse people in it. I really enjoy them. I wanted to bear my testimony, but just feel a little shy for some reason. But I do love my testimony. I’ll share it here. I love Jesus Christ. As I’m studying the Old Testament, Genesis and Moses this month, I’m strengthened to know that Christ is the only way. He is the answer and our redeemer.

I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon. It is the word of God and I have felt the truth of it. It has helped me think better, feel better, and be better.

I have a testimony that we have a modern day prophet of God. He tells us what God wants us to know. He tells us truth. I especially felt that in 2020 during the COVID pandemic when so much was unknown and weird. Who and what to believe? During general conference when the apostles and prophet would testify of doctrinal truth, I felt it burn in my heart. I felt the truth of it and that it was of God. And I only felt that burning when truth was being testified during that time. It was a testimony to me.

Ella got up and bore her testimony. She is beautiful. She is confident, calm, and clear. She spoke about her Patriarchal blessing and how it is a guide and a comfort. So grateful for her and her light.

Today was a good day. I felt good. Gosh that makes such a difference. I was able to make the complete dinner meal and our whole family was here. We did some 2025 trivia questions and it felt good to be together. The sweet kids getting along and having a great time together. They enjoy each other. I really love a good Sunday. And I did all the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. Feels like such a big accomplishment every time! Yay me! It’s a labor of love, and a service.
