Leaving

Alright folks, it is goodbye for now.

I am headed to dinner with my family, then I will be set apart by the wonderful President Todd.  After that, I will not be allowed to use any sort of electronics.

I cannot describe the happiness I am feeling. I am about to burst!!

Before I go, let me leave with you my testimony.

I know that Jesus is the Christ.  He is my Redeemer.  He suffered for me in the Garden.  Because of what I did, I can repent and be clean again.  I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God.  He restored the Gospel on the Earth as it is today.  I know that the God the Father and His son, Jesus, appeared to Joseph. I love this gospel. I know that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God.  I know that the Lord listens.  He knows all and wants for us to do the very best we can do each and every day.  I know that we have a living Prophet on the Earth today. He is President Thomas S. Monson. He leads and guides us.  I know that if we are obedient to the laws and covenants we make with our Heavenly Father, He will bless us immensely.

I know these things to be true.

I thank each and every one of you for your constant support.

If you would like to write me while I am in Nauvoo, feel free.  I would love any correspondence.

Here will be my address

YPM Sister Jex
PO Box 215

LOVE YOU ALL!!

One Special Night

So last night, I had the most magnificent opportunity to enter into the House of the Lord.
My family accompanied me through, and I can say that it was wonderful.

I have so many things to learn.  But I know that with the Lord on my side, I can do all things.

Some pictures to show my happy night.

What a night.
I love this gospel.

the countdown begins

Exactly one month until I leave for Nauvoo!
woohoo!

I can't wait to serve the Lord.

NAUVOO!

So, I got an email the other day telling me that the YPM (young performing missionaries) are putting together a blog of experiences the preparation stuff.  I took FOREVER to send mine in, but I finally did and WALLAH!

This church is TRUE!!!


And I leave for Nauvoo in 73 days!!! AHH!!

Made me EXCITED!

So ya know when you like something on facebook, it has posts that pop up in your news feed... right?

Well I like President Thomas S. Monson (I mean, c'mon, who doesn't like him?) There was a post he put up that reminded me of what I will be surrounded by in Nauvoo.

"I love the words of President Brigham Young: 'I feel like shouting Hallelujah, all the time, when I think that I ever knew Joseph Smith, the Prophet whom the Lord raised up and ordained, and to whom He gave keys and power to build up the kingdom of God on earth.' To this fitting tribute to our beloved Joseph, I add my own testimony that he was God's prophet, chosen to restore the gospel of Jesus Christ in these latter days."

I am going to be walking on the ground that the Prophet Joseph Smith walked on.  I will be surrounded by things that remind me of him every day and all the sacrifices he made as well as the Saints who followed him.

I know this church is true.  I know Joseph Smith was a TRUE prophet of God. Through his example and the example of my Savior, I know I can be better every day. I know that through the Lord, anything is possible.

He also had this video that I LOVED as well.

The Church is true.
