Dear Moroni,
I have to admit that like everyone else on this earth, I am not perfect. I think that that is the coolest part about being givin the opportunity to live on this earth: that our whole purpose here is to strive to live or reach that perfection, to be as Christ-like as we can. I think it is amazing that there is someone that loved and still loves me enough to bleed from every pore and die for me. Not only die for me, but be crucified and wear thorns on his head, be spat upon and whipped. What makes my heart ache is to know that he could have stopped it all in the blink of an eye, and yet he didn't. He continued to suffer for me, for my sins, so that I could repent and one day be ressurected and live with him again. There's times when I wonder how much I take this wonderful gift for granted. I think we all do at some point, if not at multiple points in our lives. My favorite hymn is #220 Lord I Would Follow Thee. I try to live my life by this hymn, but especially the second verse. I sing it in my head every time I meet a new person or find my self passing judgement on others. It goes, "Who am I to judge another when I walk imperfectly? In the quiet heart is hidden sorrow that the eye can't see. Who am I to judge another, Lord I would Follow thee." Not only this specific verse, but the entire song just peirces my heart and reminds me that to try to be like him is the least I could do to remember what he did for me. I love my Savior. I truly do believe in Christ and his infanint atonement. I love this gosple and the truthfulness and happiness it brings into my life. I am so greatful for the Book of Mormon and the blessing that it has been and is in my life. I'm thankful for the prophets of old, for Joseph Smith, and for our current prophet today. I know that this chuch is true and that Cchrist is the foundation of it. I leave this my testimony with you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
