David's Testimony Request

We received a letter from David last week and it had a request in it. He explained that he was sitting in the Provo temple and received a prompting that his testimony should be recorded and distributed to friends and family. Well, here it is:

I know God has a plan. I know that God, in His omniscience, has provided a way for all of us to be born and receive a body, live a life here on heath, and return to live an exalted life with Him in the Celestial Kingdom. God, in His love, has provided this path for us to travel because he wishes for all of his children to return to him and live in His glory.

I also know, with all of my heart, that God has not provided his children with a way to His glory in exclusion, but has provided a designated plan for you, one of his independent and literal children. The Lord has a plan built specifically for you. He has built your life piece by piece and wants only for you to follow the plan He has laid for you. I promise you if you do, that is accept Christ and his atonement for our sins, repent, and be baptized, your life will be blessed beyond anything you have yet experienced and eternal joy will be yours.

I know that like your individual plan, my plan includes this very same acceptance. It also includes the consecration of two years of my life to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have received a direct revelation from an ordained patriarch, and personal revelation on an immeasurable scale for myself. One example of which is this very letter.

I hope that you heed the words of prophet and scripture and come unto your Savior, Jesus Christ.
