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!
