Today I gave the prayer in Sacrament meeting. I didn't cry! I worried for two days that I couldn't do it but I did and I didn't cry. I felt like doing somersaults off the stage but got control of myself and just smiled as I went back to sit down. How grateful I have been to be able to attend church again. How grateful I am that I have the gospel in my life that has given me purpose. It had been almost five years since I have spoken at a church meeting. Because of that I know that I will never take for granted opportunities to share my testimony, have a calling, attend the temple, or say a prayer. I hope that there will be many activities in the coming years that I will be able to be a part of. I was 10 years old when our family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For 60 years I have loved being part of gospel of Jesus Christ. I have been taught, challenged, encouraged, and loved. How different my life would have been if we didn't have missionaries come into our home and into our hearts. I have said it before and I will say it many more time--everything good in my life has come because I am a member of the church. That is my testimony and this is my great blessing. I am truly grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
