Hey,
So don't worry I've been writing my testimony on paper the past while.
I didn't want to wait for the computer to turn on
But anyway Let's get to it
I have a testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (still)
I went to a broadcast of the relief society thing and when Uchtdorf got up to talk, before he even said anything, I knew he was a man of God.
I have a testimony of the first presidency I know they carry God's messge
I know that if we look for it we can find answers to prayers and questions
I know my Lord and Savior lives and I know He was reserected after He died for my sins
I know my Heavenly Father lives and loves me. I know I can trust in His will.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Testimony #

Hey,
I'm in a bit of a funk right now because I haven't prayed for the last 4 nights. It's pretty lame. I feel all out of sorts. I'm also struggling with some new awkward situations that is making me really look hard at how I should carry myself in the future and it's also making me consider giving up on some things... I don't know what I'm feeling because I don't have the spirit with me right now. I miss the spirit. I know the way to get the spirit back is diligence in the gospel. I need to study scriptures and pray. I need to make time for them. I need to do them first instead of last. I know that if I do these small and simple things great things will come to pass. I know that the Lord will guide me if I do what is right.
I'm feeling pretty nervous because I don't want my mess ups to take me away from what the Lord has planned for me. I don't want to fail any more. I've felt the ache of a missed opportunity a few times. I'm tired of that feeling. I need to be strong and push through this. I know that I can if I rely on the spirit, scriptures, church and the support of my friends.
I know the Lord provides a way. I know I can obey I just need to go and do.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Hey,

I bare testimony of our Father in Heaven and of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Testimony #

Hey,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while no one that's reading this. I've been on a trip and I haven't had internet access, but I've got them saved to my notepad and one night I almost forgot about this so I wrote a super short one on some paper. But I'm still going on strong :)
So, Yea.
I just want to bare my testimony that the Lord will prepare you for what He wants you to accomplish. I went on a trip and I wasn't expecting to learn so uch from it but I did. I've gained a lot of confidece in myself and now I know that I can move forward with the things I've been struggling with. My learnings also went along with a blessing that I got before I left on my trip. It just gave me a witness that the Lord knows what He's doing when He gives you assignments and He knows how to prepare you to accomplish them.
This experice has given me more trust in the Lord and His timing and His will.
I testify that if we follow what the Lord wants us to do we will be blessed. I have a testimony of the gospel. I know that my Redeemer lives and loves me.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

testimony #85:

Hey,
So I've got a super bunch of super cool friends. They have totally been helping me out lately. Well totally always. I really want to bare my testimony about the importance of having friends that will lift you up. And I say that having had friends that were lifting me up, and from having friend that didn't.
If you guys have ever heard that analogy about having one foot on the dock and one foot in the boat it's true. It's so slow and subtle. It totally happened to me, I wasn't close with my church friends and my other friends, my dear friends whom I love (I really hope I used whom right) were going down a different path. I couldn't chose between my standards and my friends and their activities. (does that make sense?) Well, I didn't choose, the gaps grew too large and I fell in the water. it was a very lonely time.
I really wish I would have had at least one friend that was strong in the church. Someone I could relate to in my spirituality.
Well I have those friends now and I am so grateful. It really does make a difference. And I'm not saying discriminate against people who aren't the same religion as you. I'm saying be friends with people that will uplift you. I have friends now that aren't of my faith that are supportive and helpful. I have a testimony of the importance, like to admit it or not your friends have a fierce influence on you. I bare testimony of this in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Sorry if this one is sketchy I'm tired....and watching tv.....yea I kinda suck :P
But don't worry the church is still true
ok bye!

Testimony #84: sweet and simple

Hi,
Um, I didn't really have a testimony building anything today. But its all good because I know the church is still true :) I do need to be more diligent..maybe if I did that I'd have an experience to share...
oh well like I said the church is still true.
So, let me get out my testimony out there...
I know the church is true :) I have a testimony of the scriptures. I know that if we study them we will be blessed and enlightened for it. I was reading my patriarchal blessing (which I also have a testimony of) and It says that I need to seek for knowledge and light. I know that the seeking that needs to be done will come from the scriptures. I know that I will be blessed if I'm obedient in following this. I bare testimony that God the Father lives. Jesus is the Christ. The atonement is real. I bare witness of the prophet, he is a man of God. I bare witness of the temples. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Testimony #83:

Hey,
So I'm doing loads better. It was fast and testimony meeting and I totally felt the spirit. And after church I got a priesthood blessing. I love the priesthood. I'm so glad I'm able to have it in my life, even if it's not a part of my home.
I want to bare testimony that Heavenly Father loves all of us. I know that He cares about us. I know that He is there. I know that I'm His daughter. I testify of the power of the priesthood. I testify of the scriptures. I know they are true. I know that you can turn to them for answers. I know that we can all return to our Heavenly Father. I (again) love this gospel and I testify that it is the only true church on the earth today. I testify of our prophet Thomas S Monson. I testiry of his councelers and I testify of the apostiles. I know that my Redemmer lives and loves me. I know He died for me. I know the atonement covers all pain. I know that we can better ourselves through Him.
I bare my witness to you in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Testimony #82:

Hi,
So, I completely wasted my day today. I'm not finding clarity in anything. It's because I haven't been as faithful as I should. I keep going back and forth with my feelings. I've been ignoring promptings today, or maybe I didn't have any today. I can't tell. I think I'm stressed. I think I'm lonely. I'm confused. I don't know what to tell myself. I need to be better. I need a break. I need sleep. I need a life. I'm thinking too much and doing too little
(sorry we're having a downer part today) I think I'm afraid of screwing up. I think that every wrong decision I'm making is taking away blessings. I don't feel like I'm good enough.
But I know that this yucky feeling is not coming from my Heavenly Father. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me. I have the atonement for when I do fall. I know I need to remember those things. Andi, your Heavenly Father loves you. ok? Ok.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen

Testimony #81:So, like, testimonies! am I right!?

Hey,
Let's do this! So, today I didn't really put the Lord at the front part of my mentalings today....I didn't pray or read scriptures last night or this morning. I could definitely feel the difference, I was way more scatter brained and I wasn't as happy as I am after I pray. So, I s'pose what I'm getting at is I have a testimony of the small and simple things. They totally do make a difference. I'm always a lot grumpier and less patient when I don't pray. I know that when you do the small and simple things, everything else seems to fall in place.... When you put the Lord first in the little things, the basic things, you'll be able to put the Lord first in the big things. Everything will fall into place when and how it needs to. I have faith in God's plan. I have a testimony of Heavenly Father's plan. I know that He really does want the best for us. I know if we follow His promptings we will find ourselves closer to where we need to be. No matter how small. "By small and simple things are great things come to pass." I have a testimony of these things.
I say them in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

see you later :)

Testimony #80: whoa, check it, i hit the 80 mark

I have a testimony of going to institute/seminary and going to ward activities.
I have gone to those after a brief stint of being like "nah" and now  my testimony is stronger, I'm finding more answers to prayers and ponderings. I feel like I belong more.  I'm seeing the love the Lord has for me more. I have a testimony of obedience. Doing what the Lord says is the thing to do. Totally. I have a testimony of the Atonement and of Jesus Christ. I know Heavenly Father is there for us always.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
