You may use anything I posted on this blog, like drawings (although I doubt you will since they are all low quality), and you may do anything to them (even make fun of them), as long as you don't take credit for the original. You don't even have to say where it came from, as long as it's clear that someone drew it/wrote it/took a picture of it, and it wasn't you.

I mean, I'd still like to know if you use something that I posted here, but you don't exactly need my permission to do it.

Okay? Okay.

The Ties That Bind

Hello, world!

This was what I planned to say if I actually shared my testimony at the testimony meeting in Youth Conference...

Hi. Um, you can call me Lily if you want... or That One Person. I don't really care. You probably can't tell from my voice, but I'm actually shaking to death. I also hope I can remember everything I wanted to say, cuz my brain tends to shut down while I'm speaking in public...

I don't think I've ever seen so many Mormon kids in one place. And so many have shared their testimonies. There's even some that are still waiting for me to get down from here. Seriously, the line is crazy long, longer than in any normal testimony meetings I've been to.

I just wanna say... the Church is here to make people happy. Some people have really pessimistic outlooks on life and death, and think that once a loved one dies, they'll never see that person again. But in the gospel we know that families can be together forever. I'm so grateful for that, because I know that even if my family isn't with me physically, we will be together again and have that tie that'll never go away. I'm always linked to my mom and dad and sister. I love them so much.

If every person in this room really has a testimony, whether they get up and share it or not, then... I think the future looks bright.

I know the gospel is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Only 1.5-ish hours to go on the Faith project!
