Forever changed

I will always remember today. The first line of one of my favorite Primary songs is "I love to see the temple; I'm going there someday." All of my life I have sung that song. Well, today is that 'someday.' I am entering into the Lord's Holy House to make sacred covenants that I will be obedient to Him and serve Him my whole life. I love the Lord. He is boundlessly merciful to me. That's why I want to serve a mission. God has blessed me beyond belief; my best way of showing gratitude to Him is to dedicate myself to His complete service for 18 months of my life. Peace IS possible in this world when we put our trust in God, acknowledging that He is in control and knows what's best for us. In the end, good will triumph over evil. And I want to be among His troops, fighting for the right and helping others do the same.
