Testimony

 This Sunday, a fast and testimony meeting is held (or has been held) in each branch and ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

It is generally the first Sunday of each month (unless it is General Conference weekend, held the first weekend in April and in October). It is a day we come to church fasting and, hopefully, with spiritual questions and thoughts. It is a day when church members are invited to share their testimony of Christ, of the Gospel, of the Church. 

The definition of Fast Sunday found in a newsroom article is:

"A Sunday, usually the first one of each month, on which Latter Day-Saints abstain from food and drink for two meals and donate the equivalent cost, or more, to the Church to assist the poor and needy. The money donated is called a fast offering. The sacrament meeting on each fast Sunday, called fast and testimony meeting, is devoted to the voluntary expression of testimony by members." 

I did not get the chance to physically go to church, but I did follow the zoom meeting. The testimonies shared by the members touched my heart and I now would like to share my own testimony:

I know that Christ is our Savior and our Redeemer. I know He came to earth to teach us the way back to our Father in Heaven, to suffer for our mistakes and alleviate our own sufferings, to die and be resurrected that we might all be resurrected. I know that He loves each and every one of us and His sacrifices are for each and every one of us. He has already paid the price and to deny His sacrifices would be like telling Him that what He did was not good enough for us.
I know the Gospel and the Church are perfect and what we need to get back to our Heavenly Father. It is us, the people, who are imperfect and make imperfect choices. Sometime, these choices might bring us to think that the Gospel or the Church are not true. But this is an incorrect reasoning: the Gospel and the Church came from Christ, Who is perfect. We, as mortal beings, are imperfect. I am so grateful to Christ because, thanks to His Atonement, we can change, make amends, and rectify our mistakes, where possible. 
I have been a church member for 40 years. I have had my ups and downs. I have had moments when I did question my testimony, when I had doubts. But I turned to Christ for answers, and I am so grateful that I am still a member and that my testimony is strong."Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith." Dieter F. Uchtdorf
