I have been raised in the church. Since I was a little girl I attended to Sunday meetings with my family, read the scriptures and prayed with them. It was a normal part of my life, I didn't stop to think why did I live that way.
With time, I started to make my own decisions. I started to learn about agency by using it. I could have taken other paths, and that's when I needed to search for my own testimony. That knowledge is the strength that helps me keep walking. I have felt very strongly in my life that the gospel of Jesus Christ my parents taught me is the only path that leads God's children to true happiness. I treasure it. Even if some other ways seem to bring temporary happiness, I know in my heart that He is the only way that we can achieve joy, not only in the future life, but right now. Everyone can get to know this. God loves all of his children, and He is here to help us in the journey. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ. I love this gospel. The promises are real, and no matter how hard our trials can seem, I know we shall have peace in him.
