so its been a very very long time since ive dont this but i was reading my friends misson blog that he has so i figured that i should get back in the habbit of doing them,so a lot has gone on since i last posted i graduated and well that was the biggest thing, but now ive decided to serve god and go on a misson, now at first i never wanted to go, never thought it was for me always thought it was dumb and i rather do other things then go for two years. and when people always told me that i had to go it just pushed me farther and farther aways from it. i guess another reason i never really wanted to go was cause i never really had my own testimony of the gospel for my self i always was just leaning off of my parents. well now i started to read the book of mormon for the first time because i wanted to not just cause i was rewared and i also wanted the confermation that everyone always talked about, everyone said its a burning in there busom but low and behold to me it wasnt that, i could of never guessed that it would happen to me at a scout camp out at about 4:30 in the morning surounded by one leader and two other of the young men, and some how we got stated talking about the gospel cause i had some questions on stuff that i was reading and i didnt quite understand it, and then after talking and helping me understand it i was just hit out of no where and brought tears to my eyes. at first i thought it was just cause it was early and i hadnt sleped for many hours. but the more and more i looked back on it i figured out that that was the holy ghost telling me that it is really true, and im glad i have that now cause kids my age are falling away because they dont know for them selfs if its true or not and this is the age where they need to learn it i hear some of my friends who say they dont really believe in it anymore and i was with them at one point now it just hurts me to hear that cause i know that its the true church and its true!! and those boys and leader that were there will always be rememberd for helping to bring the spirit there for i could find out for my self, and its because of that day that i have turned parts of my life around and decided to go on a mission, this last sunday i turned my papers in to my bishop and should get my call with in a month or so! im excited and very scared but thats normal haha and for the first time i enjoy reading my scriptures! and i have found my mission quote! its
ALMA 34:32 "For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet god; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to preform thir labors"
that is one of the best scriptures i have ever read and it puts life in to perspective for me and it shows me that i need to do ever thing i can to meet god
