About Me

Hello! My name is Josh and I am going to see if I can use this old blog of mine as a type of journal. I have a lot going on in my life and think I should document some of it. That way I can save these experiences for myself and my children.

Testimony and Repentance

One of my favorite scriptures is in Doctrine and Covenants Section 62 Verse 3 and is says "Nevertheless, ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice over you, and your sins are forgiven you." In my opinion we are forgiven of our sins because of the testimony which he gave. Missionaries get the opportunity to bare testimony daily and we should be feeling the spirit hourly.  The miracle of repentance is real, it can change a man who is as sinful as they come into a saint. This is only possible because of the sacrifice of our Savior. I have so many scriptures that illustrate how we can be forgiven of our sins by sharing the gospel with other.  Here are a few examples:







  • James 5:20 Let him know, that he which coverteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
  • Doctrine and Covenants 84:61 For I will forgive you of your sins with this commandment—that you remain steadfast in your minds in solemnity and the spirit of prayer, in bearing testimony to all the world of those things which are communicated unto you.
I can add additional testimony on the subject of repentance. Our Lord is always there for us and always wanting us to come to him. If we consistently work towards Him we can reach our goal. We will begin to feel great joy in repenting daily through our faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement.  I know and testify to everyone that it is real and it does change us.  I love the Savior with all my heart because I know that without Him I would not be the person I am now.  These things are very real and we can all achieve far greater things when we depend more fully on the Lord. He will lift us up but we must first come to Him.  I know that these things are true they have played a major role in my life and I know that my Savior lives and he died for me.  I leave this testimony with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
