Today I had a class period that changed my life! It was Book of Mormon class. We had a "silent" class period where our teacher didn't say anything. At first I was kind of confused, but it was the best class period ever and has made me view the Savior in an extremely different light. Before this class I thought I had an understanding of the Savior and his atonement, but now I see it in an even more personal way. My testimony has been strengthened in so many ways.
So there are two things that I want to share that I am grateful for today. First is that I am grateful to be studying at a university where I am taught about the principles of the gospel in a classroom setting. My understanding of the Book of Mormon has been expanded in ways I never thought possible. Second, I am grateful for everything the Savior has done for me.
In class we were talking (actually we weren't talking haha) about Mosiah 14-16, which about Abinidi going before King Noah and testifying of the Savior. I want to finish this post and share what I wrote in my journal after having gone through the videos, verses, and powerpoint slides during class:
I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I don't know where I'd be without him. I know that he lives and he knows me. He knows my name, my circumstance, my insecurities, and the deepest desires of my heart. He has felt my pains and sorrows of every kind, both physical and emotional. There is no one in the whole world that knows me better than the Savior. And what's most amazing about it is that he knows everyone else (who has ever lived and will live on this earth) in the exact same way he knows me.
