It was kind of on Christmas and family. Kayla got to be there. I love Kayla and I hope she wants a family that will be together forever too.
One of the promises that the Savior's atonement gave to us is that we will not live forever in our sins. Instead we can leave them behind by repenting. When we do this, and take the sacrament, we are clean again. We must be clean to enter into the presence of the savior and Heavenly Father after our life on earth.
I want to be in the presence of God and Heavenly Father and I want to be with my family. I love that familes can be together forever. My family is very precious to me. I was sealed to my mom in May. That means that we will be together forever. I hope that my other family members can be sealed to us too because I love them.
This Christmas we decided to go see my mom's family in Missouri. We do not get to see them very often so I was happy to go. It is a long way away. It takes at least 16 hours. When we had been driving for 12, it started to snow and we all started praying that we would be safe. Suddenly, we wrecked right into the side of a bridge. That was scary, especially since there were so many cars all around us. Finally we were able to get our car and stay at a hotel. We were all glad that we were safe.
The next morning, we got up early to try to make it to church and to make it to my Grandma Anne's house. One hour after we started driving, we wrecked again. This time our car would not be able to drive. Our car spun around and our tire got ripped off and we were down in a ditch.
My Grandma Anne came to get us and we got to her house late that night. We were all so happy to see each other and that everyone is ok. It makes me love my family so much more when I spend time with them.
I hope that they will be baptized and sealed to us so that we can be together forever. I can not think about my life without my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. It makes me sad.
I am so glad that Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father have told us how we can be together forever. I love the Church, I know it is true and I know that Heavenly Father loves me.
I have a testimony...
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
