Tonight I'm reading a talk from the Conference Ensign from the Young Women's general session called Never, Never, Never Give Up! While directed towards young girls, I still liked this talk. Two things stood out to me. First, a quote by President Monson which says, "Your testimony, when constantly nourished, will keep you safe." This weekend, at this business training event, I have really felt that safety. I feel so happy to have consistently done a gospel study now for two and a half weeks and I really do feel that it is nourishing to my testimony. I have noticed such a difference in how I feel and what I think about.

The second thing that stood out to me is a quote from the Personal Progress manual. It says, "Partake worthily of the Sacrament each week and fill your life with virtuous activities that will bring spiritual power. As you do this, you will grow stronger in your ability to resist temptation, keep the commandments, and become more like Jesus Christ." I have definitely experienced those promises from my determination to do my gospel study. I am so grateful for the gospel. I even had an opportunity today to share the experience of Joseph Smith's first vision and I felt the Spirit as I did so. I am grateful for that opportunity to bear my witness that that is true and to be worthy to have the Spirit as my constant companion.
