Sister Elizabeth Rex: What I believe

"What happens now? Now that I believe?"

"What do I need to do to be baptized?"

"I want to come back to church."

"I want my girlfriend to learn what I learned from the missionaries."

"I am willing to open my heart. I want to become like Jesus Christ."

"What changed for you when you chose to believe?"

Every line has a person and their story behind it. But more than any experience we had this week, I want to share what I believe.

I have felt God's love in my life, it fills me, as 2 Nephi 4:21 describes. Every time I look into the eyes of the people we come across, my heart gets a little softer. God has opened my eyes to see people where they are which = a lot of tears from Sister Rex. Sometimes my heart hurts because of the hard things that others go through, but other times it hurts because of how often I fall into sin, "nevertheless I know in whom I have trusted. My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions... and he has filled me with his love" (2 Nephi 4:18-21).

I believe in Christ. I believe that He lives and that no matter what "sins easily beset you" He will help you when you turn to Him. I love the Prophet Joseph Smith. Everything that I know about Christ is because of him. This is the ongoing restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I will stand forever. Where will you stand?

I've always believed it's true; but now it's real.

Love big! Love hard!

Sister Rex
