Today I went to church, like I do almost every Sunday. It is always a great experience- not because it is fun, or we get free food (sometimes), or because I get to see people that I love but because of how it feels. Do you know how wonderful it feels to go to church and be renewed? It is glorious.
As I have written before, I do attend The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have always attended it, I have been to other churches in support of loved ones and I have gone to other churches' holiday festivals. I am a firm believer that we all "claim the privilege of worshiping all mighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience." I believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the restored church of Jesus Christ upon the earth today and I will tell you a little bit about why I believe that.
First of all, it gives me joy. In The Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 2:25 it says Adam fell that men might be and men are that they might have joy. The church, The Book of Mormon, The Holy Bible, the entire gospel brings joy to my heart. They all help me to know my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, John 17:3, And this is life eternal that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. It gives me joy to know them this is life eternal that we may know them, and have joy.
Second, when I read my scriptures I feel like my heart is burning with fire and I am overwhelmed with peace and love.
Third it makes sense, it clicks. I couldn't believe anything that I don't understand.
Also, when I walk in the doors of the church. Actually, before I walk in those doors, I might be mad, irritated troubled, whatever but when I walk in those doors I get the biggest smile on my face. I feel wrapped in the arms of my Savior's love.

But there is so many more reasons why I know its true. If you want to know more check out http://mormon.org/me/9C81/Camille and look at some of the other profiles if you would like. It is your choice ;)
