My Testimony:4-22-12…I am learning a ton of Portuguese, and a lot of cool
gospel stuff on my own. It’s amazing the stuff the spirit guides you to when
you’re truly seeking. Here is a description of my first two big spiritual
experiences.

experiences.
1st Day, my first meeting – been at the MTC
for 5 min. we were singing “Armies of Helaman” and we replaced “we will be the Lords missionaries” with “We are now the Lord’s missionaries” … I
teared up immediately , I hadn’t felt the spirit that strong since I prayed in
the Sacred Grove.

Today while reading in “Jesus the Christ” In chapter 3 “The need for a Redeemer” , I came
across a profound paragraph (it is too long so I’ll paraphrase) “born of a mortal Mother , He inherited the capacity to die, begotten by an Immortal Sire, He passed as a heritage the power to
withstand death Indefinitely. He literally gave up His own life, to this effect
is His own affirmation: therefore doth my
Father love me, because I lay down my life to take it up again.

No man taketh it from me
but I lay it down for myself. I have power to lay it down , and I have power to
take it up again.”
but I lay it down for myself. I have power to lay it down , and I have power to
take it up again.”
This hit me so hard I have
never before realized the fact that the Savior could have removed the nails ,
and walked away from the cross. He didn’t
HAVE to die. The Crucifiction did not kill
him, the Roman Soldiers did not and could not kill Him. He loved you and
me so much that he gave up his own life willingly, and by doing so as a God He
provided a means to over come death for all of God’s children.

This hit me and
strengthened my testimony of the Atonement and the Savior so much that I had to
share. I LOVE THE LORD !...
