My Testimony

This semester has been one of the hardest times of my life. I work 20 hours a week and have 15 credits, plus callings, group projects and meetings, projects, tests to study for, etc. I already have certain medical issues that keep me sick all the time and found out about a few more. I haven't handled the work load very well... Then my good friend Josh passes away and that broke my heart. I learned that i don't really handle stress very well. My roommates can attest to that!
I realized that this semester i haven't been who i should have. I have completely disappointed myself and i'm sure my heavenly father as well. Halfway through the semester i decided i needed to make a change. I tried for weeks on my own to control my temper and be a better person. But something kept holding me back. No matter how hard i tried i could never seem to keep the anger away. Then i was sent an angel. My roommate Caitlin. She helped me see what it was i was doing wrong and helped me fix it. She helped me remember to trust the lord and ask him for help. I have had a hard time but i am improving. I have done so much better as i have put my trust in the lord and stopped thinking only of myself and instead see other's needs and try to help them. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and that he sent me here to make mistakes and learn and grow from them. I know with all my heart that Christ died for me. That i may live and be with my eternal family again. I am so greatful for his example that i may follow it. I am grateful for the chance i am given to change. To repent of my sins, be forgiven, and truly change. I know that without Christ and his atonement i would be nothing. I love my Heavenly father and Brother. I know this gospel is true and i am so grateful that it has been put here on this earth for all of us.
