300th post and a testimony.


Chase, told me about this talk in his last letter. And while I was in my empty dorm, I remembered it. So I sat on my bed with some cracker chips and cinnamon toasters and listened. Hard. I let the words wash over me and as I did I felt closer to that love of mine, and even more importantly, to my Heavenly Father.  I felt His love and my testimony of the truthfulness of this wonderful church, and the prophets, that truly are the prophets of God, grow stronger-and I needed that. 

And, I need you all to know that I do know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church containing the fullness of the Gospel. I know that with every fiber of my being. I am proud to be a member of something so amazing that it can soothe any pain, comfort any worry, and calm any mind.  I know that Joseph did see God the Father and His son, Jesus Christ, that day in the grove, and I know that he did speak to Them. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and translated correctly and I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us and that it will be revealed in His own due time.  I know that if you will ask-earnestly, and with faith-that you will be answered. I don't know when or how. But, you will be answered. He will never fail you. 

I do love you all, and wish you comfort through your hard times, and comfort that you are going the right direction in the good times , and comfort in your frustrating or decision making times. 

And please, if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask. I may not know everything, but I can help you find someone who does

Life as of late

I have been sorely missing the blogging world.
It's nice to see a full feed again-with the linix on the puter my internet is a bit hazy. 
That's alright though, I have a cool roommate that lets me borrow hers for things. Like math. 

Also:
letters
homework
temple trips
institute
cafe food
market food (candy and naked..the drink) for when we are feeling fancy
FHE
midnight bedtime. if we are lucky. not as cool as it sounds kids.
exercising more.
smiling bigger.
working harder.
loving deeper. 

Till next time-which is hopefully sooner than the last. 

Love,
Erin Lou
