I'm so excited today....it was testimony sunday in my church early on and I was given the chance to bear mt testimony in front of the congregation, so was every member even though I didn't do that today so I decided to post it on here : "I'm thankful for my life, I'm really grateful for how far the Good Lord has brought me. At first during sunday mornings I'll just sleep until it was 10am then watch tv afterwards until the day ends but now its different I get to wake up early in the morning on sundays and I get so much excited about going to church. There's a change and this change is good, it has brought me so many blessings in my life. Even from how I relate to people to how I treat and talk to them. I've learned to cultivate the spirit of forgiveness plus I've learned how to pray and read my scriptures. I'm grateful to God for bringing these special people in my life (church members)......I'm thankful for the lives of my two missionaries Elder Reid and Elder Merrill for teaching me so many things about Jesus Christ, the scriptures, guiding my steps and bringing me to the truth through the help of the Holy Ghost. I love them and I'll always remember them. I'm thankful for this day and super excited too!!!!! I love the teachings of my church and I love my church......I love every member in the church. I love my missionaries Elder Reid and Elder Merrill not forgetting Elder Batusti and Elder Helgesen.I'm proud to be a Mormon.....Change is good and it can bring so much blessings into your life!!!!! I know everything that I've shared with you is true in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!!

But what they didn’t know was the fact that I had already given up on myself: so nothing they said was actually going to push me to change. Even with that I’ll start eating healthy for a minute, hit the gym and give up on that same week. Until my course mate took a picture of me when I wasn’t looking after I had instructed him not to take any picture of me. A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey.
