One Last Post...for now.

Now that Savior of the World is over, I thought I would share some of my feelings about it in one last post.  My experience in Savior of the World this year has been nothing short of a miracle in my life.  This is heaven here at the conference center.  Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved the feeling of being in this place. The joy that comes from being surrounded by saints joined in the unity of sharing the Savior's message is something that I can't explain or compare anything to.  This place is a mini Zion.  The relationships I have built, my strengthened testimony, and the opportunities that I have had to share this gospel with others have change my life forever.  I don't even feel like the same person anymore.  I have grown, and am much more confident in my relationship with my Savior.  I love Him.  I have loved testifying of Him.  As I have done so, I have felt just a small something of the love He has for His other sheep - for all His sheep!  I love them too!  Since being in this show, and as this new year begins I have thought a lot about the relationships that we, as children of God, have with each other.  I just want to share that I know that there is so much we can do to help and lift and even save each other.  We are told that one day we will be able to live with our loved ones forever if we follow God's plan.  Before Savior of the World, I only really thought of that as being my family, but I have come to realize that the gates of heaven stretch much farther than that for all of us.  I didn't even feel like I was saying goodbye to the people in the show, because I truly do love them, and I truly believe that relationships like these ones can be eternal as well.

This show has truly bettered my life and I know that through the Holy Ghost, others lives have been bettered as well.  This life is far too short to not take opportunities to love.
 Because we are loved first, we must also love.
