Canda Winnipeg: Many are called, few are FROZEN!

Well, This is going to be my last post for 18 months! I leave to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Wednesday May 27th! I am so excited.

I have had a lot of emotions this last month as I prepare to leave. It has been the biggest emotional roller coaster I have EVER had. I am so ready and excited one moment, to Scared and not ready at all the next. But I know that Heavenly Father wants me to serve. He called me to serve in the Canada Winnipeg Mission. That gives me comfort. I know this where I need to be. I am so excited!

 

In my last blog post I just want to share my simple testimony with you all!

 

I know that this gospel is the true gospel, Jesus Christ suffered for all of our sins. We can be saved through him and be forgiven of each sin we commit.  I know I have a loving Heavenly Father who is interested in our life. He wants us to rely on him but also make choices for our selves. He wants just to succeed and be the best we can be!

 I know that I am a daughter of God. I love my Heavenly Father and He loves me. I proudly stand as a witness in all time, and in all things and in all places. I know The Book Of Mormon is a true book of God. I am so excited to share it's great message. I leave you with a challenge to read The Book of Mormon, study and pray to know that it is the word of God.  I know he will answer your prayers. I have done it for myself. I love you all. Heavenly Father loves you all. I know he does. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Am I enough?

 

As May 27th comes closer I am over filled with joy and comfort. I have had a lot of people ask me "Are you ready?" and My response has always been "Ehh, I don't know haha" I still am not fully sure if I am prepared. I mean physically, packing wise I am not. I still have the little things to get. I still am trying so hard to get into the missionary schedule of waking up.. Let's just say.. I am still working on that. ;) But spiritual and mental are my biggest questions. " you know it's going to be hard." 
" The hardest thing you have ever done!" " You are going to cry a lot and be frustrated." "You are just going to have to deal with the "pain" of serving a mission." All things I have heard and taken into consideration. I begin to question my ability, Am I really fit to serve? Do I have the capability to serve? The questions seem to get harder to answer as the time goes on. Am I enough?

 But then I ran across this scripture

 3 Nephi 5:13-14
13 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called‍ of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.

 14 And it hath become expedient that I, according to the will of God, that the prayers of those who have gone hence, who were the holy ones, should be fulfilled according to their faith, should make a record‍ of these things which have been done—

I have been called of God. God has trusted me to go out to Winnipeg Canada to preach his gospel. He has trusted me, Gabrielle Miranda Bersie to go and preach the truth and bring others that they might have everlasting life. That is such a huge comfort to me, But then the question is, is my testimony strong enough to share?
With that question in mind I found 

 Alma 5: 48" I say unto you, that I know of myself that whatsoever I shall say unto you, concerning that which is to come, is true; and I say unto you, that I know that Jesus Christ shall come, yea, the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy, and truth. And behold, it is he that cometh to take away the sins of the world, yea, the sins of every man who steadfastly believeth on his name." 

I know the most important thing. That Jesus Christ lives. He is our savior. He suffered for all of our sins. I think back to the time that I have had to use the Atonement in my life. It brings such pure happiness to know that I have  a brother who loves me so much that he was will to die for me, and suffer such pain that I may be made clean. He loves me. I love him. He knows me. I know Him. My testimony is strong enough to share. It may be simple, But it is strong. I am so grateful to know that my family is forever, that the Atonement is real. That I will be able to return to my Heavenly Father if I keep His commandments and endure to the end. I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true. I am enough!
