But as for me and my house, we will serve the lord.

Since I entered junior high my testimony has never been stronger. I always thought that I would have a tough time keeping faith in the lord especially at my school where there's bad influences everywhere you step. One particular time I was in Spanish class and this one girl was talking to some of my friends who were LDS about her bible and why we were wrong. She was so persistent about telling us that our church was corrupt and telling us things I've never heard about the church that were obviously not true things. And then she got to this question " What builds your faith?" and she went on to answer "because what builds mine is I have to know things. I can't keep going if I don't absolutely know everything." all I said was but having faith is not a perfect knowledge of things. It's believing in something not seen. But what truly builds my faith is times like those when people try to test it. I don't know why but I know my church is true when people try to tell me otherwise. I feel so good that I know the truth. But then you get that horrible feeling because they do not. And it's upsetting that you are trying everything to tell them but they never listen. I think that's how God feels sometimes. He tries to tell us repetitively that he's here. But sometimes we just don't listen. I'm planning on giving that girl a Book of Mormon. Hopefully and prayfully she'll give it a shot.
