looking forward to good things...

Today was another great Sunday for me. I made it Sacrament meeting only 5 minutes late! nice. It was a good sacrament meeting, but my Sunday School class is what really touched my heart today. I teach Sunday School for the 14-15 years old and our lesson was on "The First Principles of the Ordinances of the Gospel" I have to admit, I didn't read the lesson until this morning and during sacrament meeting. I know. Not good. But I just want to testify of the power of the Holy Ghost. We opened the lesson talking about Faith. We spent the majority of the class time discussing what faith is, how we can strengthen our faith, and the importance of having faith in Jesus Christ. During the lesson, I was able to share my testimony of faith and I really felt the spirit of our Heavenly Father. It was just another testament to me personally of how real He is. Every Sunday I teach these teenagers and we talk about Joseph Smith (We're studying the D&C this year), I am reminded that the prophet was these guy's age when he saw God the Father and Jesus Christ, and I am just so amazed at the Faith that young man had. And I am reminded of how much more I need to do to strengthen my own faith. And to top this wonderful Sunday off, I had my last interview with the Stk. President and got my temple recommend!!! yay!!!
I tear up every time I think of how I am going to have the wonderful opportunity to go into the Lord's house and receive my endowments. It has been such a long and trying road for me. I am so happy that I am finally here. I look forward to going to the temple. I look forward to being the closest I can be to my Father in Heaven while here on earth, and I look forward to being sealed to Alma for all of eternity. Oh how wonderful it is to be me!
