Sharing The Gospel

Since living in Arizona I have made several new friends. One of these friends I have met through activities with the kids I nanny. She is a nanny as well for 2 little kids about the same ages as the girls I watch. The other day we had a little playdate and we started talking about the church. I was explaining to her the importance of the church in my life and the guidance it brings me. That through my faith I have been able to overcome many trials and continue to overcome them. I wanted her to know that regardless of things good or bad in my life that were going on, I knew I wasn't alone and that through faith everything would work out. I basically bore my testimony to her in the most simple way possible. She grew up with no religion in her life and has somewhat been searching for something. So I knew i had nothing to lose and told her that she was welcome to join me anytime at church. So she agreed to come this Sunday with me. I am excited for her to go and to feel the spirit. To feel what I feel every Sunday as I attend church. Lately I have been working very hard to feel the spirit in my life. To read my scriptures, say my morning and evening prayers, pay my tithing, attend all my meetings, keep the sabbath day holy, and to be a member missionary and share the gospel. All of these preparing me to go through the temple. I am so grateful that as I make these spiritual changes in my life I can feel a huge change taking place. That as I bear my testimony to friends I can realize just how important the church is in my life and just how much I love my Savior and the amazing gift of the Atonement.
