Bore my testimony yesterday and it wrapped into a nice structure I'd like to share here. Of course its better live, with the pragmatics to expound , and with the Spirit to help feel it. First I explained a little about being sick, homebound, and then out of the habit of church. That the bishop worked with me, but not until May called me to start doing things [about last September, and then as First Counselor in November or so] that I started to actually attend church again. Then I explained:
When I took the sacrament for the first time after a while, when I took it I didn't realize my soul was so thirsty for it. When I went to Sunday School, and Relief Society, and Sacrament Meeting I didn't realize my mind was so tired of the garbage [choked up, then and now] I'd been feeding it. When I worked in my calling I didn't realize the Lord would strengthen me so. I've been going to the temple lately, and I had forgotten that this is where everyone wants to be, this is the feeling that everyone is searching for. So close to heaven, and the Lord.
So thank you everyone for nourishing and supporting me. The church is true. And I closed in the name of Jesus Christ.
