My thoughts on Elder Falabella's talk "Why Are We Members of the Only True Church?"
Elder Falabella asks a very important question.
Have you ever sat down and figured out why you are a Mormon? What about your children? Why do you? Why do they?
Have you ever had your children sit down and figure out why they keep going to church? (this is different than being a Mormon)
That might be an interesting FHE.
Here are some of my reasons:
My week goes better when I recharge my spiritual batteries.
Partake of the sacrament because I’m a covenant keeper.
I have a job to fulfill.
I have a need to great my friends and speak to them at least once a week in person.
I need the blessings.
I believe.
Here are some reasons I would skip going to church:
I want to sleep in.
Too much stuff to do at home and I could use those three hours very productively at home.
Hate the fight with kids on the bench.
Don’t want to.
Didn’t do my job and don’t want to face the music.
Why I have a testimony:
(BTW—there won’t be a why I don’t have a testimony)
One day when I asked, I was told it was true. And I’m a person of conviction.
I have a testimony of prayer, fasting, restoration, priesthood power, tithing, Joseph Smith, Pres. Hinckley.
That burning in my bosom really happened.
I have felt His love for me and know that I’m a daughter of God.
Because when I was a little girl my mom took me to church and taught me how to find my own testimony.
