Our day at Church

We had a new Bishop called today in our ward. What's funny is that right before we left the Geneva wasrd, Bishop Koch was called and we left soon there after. I was a little disappointed because he is such a righteous man and I thought of how awesome the spirit was going to be in the ward (not that it wasn't already, I just knew amazing thing were going to happen). Since having been the Nursery leader in the last ward, my testimony was a little weak. I felt that I needed to do something to get it to go back to that amazing feeling that I had when I was first baptized. I sat through the entire sacrament meeting as those who were asked by the Stake President to bear testimonies- it was a great meeting. Then enter YW, Sister Main gave an awesome lesson on the Priesthood. She left the last 7 minutes for testimony bearing and I started to reflect on having the spirit with you always and how Sister Main shared her experience of when she felt the spirit leave her when she wasn't where the spirit could be with her. A few moments of sitting there, my heart started beating and then it started pounding, it was seriously going to jump right out of my chest, I wanted to bear my testimony not only because I got that feeling of the spirit back that was SO strong but it has been 2 1/2 years since I have bore my testimony outside of teaching lessons and giving one talk at church. The YW president got up to close the meeting right as I was going to get up. Oh well I guess I will have to do it next time I thought. As I sat there for the last 2 minutes during closing prayer, I felt that I disappointed Heavenly Father. I neglected that prompting of the Spirit to bare my testimony to these girls that needed to hear it most. So I want to bear testimony now that I know Heavenly Father has sent his son for us and that this Gospel is the true Gospel and that the church is true. The Spirit is such an important "tool" to have with us in times when we need guidance and direction. The YW in our ward bring out such a sweet yet profound spirit and they helped me to see that and get that feeling back. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
