I grew up in a loving LDS family, and was taught the Gospel in our home.  I don’t ever remember  doubting  that  I have  a loving Heavenly Father, or that the Church is true.  I do remember occasions when I was very young that I felt the Spirit very strong, although I probably didn’t recognize it as the Holy Ghost witnessing to me  at  the time. One memorable occasion was at a family reunion.  I was sitting on the floor- up front, listening to my Grandfather Jensen tell us about the family’s conversion to the church in Denmark. He talked of his experiences, and his faith and trust in the Lord. I will never forget the burning in my bosom as I listened to him bear his testimony.  I KNEW that what he was saying was true, that he would never lie.  I was so in awe of him!!  Another time, also as a young child, sitting on small chairs in the front row–probably in Primary or Sunday School, we were being taught the hymn” Joseph Smiths First Prayer.” Oh how lovely was the morning, radiant beams the sun above–again the spirit  bore witness to me though this hymn with its beautiful words and music.  I literally tingled to my finger tips!!  I knew the message was true!  When I was eight years old I was baptized a member of the church.  I was excited.  I don’t really remember too many of the words in my blessing, but I do remember how I felt, and the burning in my bosom at the words “receive ye the Holy Ghost”  Yes I was blessed to be born into the Church, but yes I do have my own testimony of its truthfulness. I know I am a daughter of a kind loving Heavenly Father who hears and answers my prayers. I have an older brother, our Savior  Jesus Christ, who sacrificed and atoned for my sins and shortcomings.  I am so grateful for that gift.  I am grateful for the knowledge we have of Heavenly Fathers plan of happiness for us, that families can be together forever.  I’m thankful for all the opportunities we have to learn and grow, for the blessings of the scriptures, especially the  Book Of Mormon, another  testament of Jesus Christ , and for a living Prophet  to guide us. I am grateful for the multitude of times the Spirit has touched my soul and born witness to me of the truth. I know the Church is true. I’m thankful to my Heavenly Father for all my blessings, in the name of my Savior , Jesus Christ,  Amen.
