Temple or Bust.

          Confession time.....I am not very good at going to seminary. Today was no different. Once again Claire and I tried to avoid going as long as possible by trying to talk to our seminary principal, Brother Sweat. This trick normally helps us avoid a couple of minutes of seminary and get a note from him excusing our tardy. Who knew that this simple childish act would end up being a blessing.
          Today we walked into that office and started asking every question we could think of. At first the questions were stupid and just a waste of time but slowly the questions turned into really cool topics in an hour we covered these topics.
 
1. Joseph Smiths marriage and how hard it was for Emma
2. Polygamy in general
3. Temple marriage
4. Worldly marriage
5. The work inside of the temple (he couldn't go into much detail)
6. Cloning
7. The lost plates
8.The sealed plates
9. John and The Three Nephites (These guys are legit!)
10. Resurrection
11. Going on a mission
12. There is only heaven
13. Temple names
14. Divorce
15. The priesthood
16. How much the Bible connects with the Book of Mormon
 
          I have a testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This church is the one and only true church! Without it I really believe that I would be lost and unhappy. The joy that it brings me everyday is incredible. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me! The Holy Ghost touches my life in small simple ways daily! Everything in the church just.....WORKS! God seriously has timed everything in history perfectly! He is obviously a genus and creator. Don't take my word for it. Go read those books! I'm so excited to go on a mission in just a year and a half. Being able to show people what they are missing will be amazing! Being able to go to the temple in about a year is so humbling. I'm going guys! I'm not settling for anything less than the temple! I'm blessed to have a family that raised me in the church. I was baptized by my dad! How lucky is that? I love having three priesthood holders in my house. This church is everything to me.
