@2Nep2526 @jaredadairbell I think members could be more concise with their stories at times, but agree personal experience strengthens the message of the testimony

@jaredadairbell I have been working with a non member that is absolutely frustrated. She asks, “why, why do you know it’s true…you people just regurgitate the same stuff and it isn’t personal. It means nothing to me if you can’t illustrate how you personally know.” And I agree with her.

My experience at the San Jose del Cabo 2nd Ward: We entered the building and the Aaronic Priesthood holders are there to greet and welcome everybody. Clean-cut young men. We take our seats. We’re greeted by a nice lady who tells us our children our beautiful and asks where we’re visiting from (She mentioned how Governor Cox visited here about a month ago (apparently he served his mission here (not relevant))). She then tells me I look like a missionary cause I have that charm. We get started with the opening hymn “Te damos Señor nuestras gracias (We thank Thee O God for a Prophet).” We take the bread and that water. Then I remembered, after giving my daughter a granola bar, that today is fast and Sunday. Testimonies from the Latinos are usually always interesting. And today was definitely the case. The Counselor shares his testimony, it was beautiful. A pure testimony of the core tenets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Before he finishes, two women go up. As they bore their testimonies, 4 more go up. And so on and so forth. People flowing up. Each person going up wastes no time. There is no fluff. No time where someone wasn’t going up to share their testimony. And—this is the interesting part—EVERY PERSON bore pure testimony of the teachings and doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No fluff. They all bore testimony of - the Gospel of Jesus Christ - temples and their importance - families being together forever - The Book of Mormon being another testament of Jesus Christ—that it’s the most correct book on earth - Joseph Smith was a prophet of God - Dallin H Oaks is a prophet of God - the ordinances we have are true and of God - we are part of the gathering and are blessed and privileged to be part of building up the kingdom of God - Jesus Chris is our Redeemer, the “Great Healer that heals all” ALL OF THEM testified so simply and beautifully those things among other core doctrinal tenets of the Church. Eventually, the counselor had to stand up and tell everyone that the remaining members on the stand will be able to share their testimony, but that’ll be all. My parents—who frequently go to that ward, but don’t understand anything—asked me how was sacrament and what I thought. I told them that ward is the closest to Zion I’ve ever been. I told them they should move their records to this ward because theirs a good chance it’ll be lifted into heaven. Completely united in their faith in Christ, His Church, His holy scriptures, His prophets, His temples, His gospel, and the blessing that flow from it all. 10/10 experience

@bcbaker66 @jmbrim3 I hate KK donuts. They're too sweet. Small family owned donut shops are what we look for.

@jmbrim3 I struggle to eat a single Krispy Kreme donut. They are sold here now, and I can't figure out America's obsession with rings of sugar-coated air.

What’s something wild you did on your mission? I ate a dozen donuts in one sitting and then had to bike 7 miles home 😂

@DaveCharbonneau The time never ended

Asking for a friend ...

Interesting, but probably not too helpful. Where do you end up?

@merrynick13 It's awful here. I live near Frisco and it's completely overrun with Indians. Everytime a house goes up for sale in my neighborhood, an Indian family moves in. To make things worse our other neighboring city, Plano is overrun with Islamists who want to build a Muslim only "city"

I didn’t get a ticket to Dune 3 and I’m taking it out on the Indians. Get them out of my country

@flabeargo Pull out of NATO, close the bases, stop subsidizing their healthcare, and let Europe deal with Europe problems

True or not, do it. They keep saying they don't want us there anyway.

Marco Rubio finding out he also has to be a seventy. #generalconference

@jmbrim3 Gotta keep waiting for the doctor to need your job to save the planet

I regret to inform you, I did not win the lottery that I didn’t buy a ticket for...

@Inadvertantview @DavidRLinn @CyborgPeds @dmg1848 @FalkTG You grouped him in with the "you folks" comment. Nothing wrong with the facts but you did call him a narcissist and a liar. You also responded to another comment pointing out he was on your side that "he actually isn't"

I simply stated facts. Because I get this a lot from Europeans. We made the Internet. No they didn’t. Be mad. I don’t believe I was rude. I didn’t call him any names. I simply shared clarity and facts. The Internet was given to the world by the United States. We would not be having this discussion were it not for the United States. This platform that we’re speaking on was built in the United States. If facts hurt you, I’m sorry.

Truth nuke for Europe 🇪🇺: From a military standpoint, American security guarantees are worth 10 times more than French ones. America is - by far - our most valuable ally. We should treat them as such.

@merrynick13 @RykerJackson97 The funny part is he follows me and my pfp has been an anime wifu since I started this account

Keep my wife @RykerJackson97 name out yo fudging mouth

@thebookof2chad @merrynick13

@merrynick13 Nah. Call ice on the places that turn the iPad around with the tip screen up

Calling ICE on the fast food restaurants that are slow with my food

@FaithLikeAbish2 @Mormonger I got unresolved too and the description doesn't match my reality at all lol lots of assumptions that you either have to be strongly pro status quo or activism to be comfortable.

💩

@NauvooSpice Nerds*

@NauvooSpice youtu.be/9W0J02S064g?si… We are huge anime needs lol

I’m curious to the married friends I have on here. What was your wedding song?

@NauvooSpice My uncle and his family used to go to Disneyland at least weekly, if not more. They stopped a few years ago because the magic is gone. It's all adults.

I’m tired of Disney parks for exactly this reason. Disney adults killed the magic.

The comment section is amazing

@jmbrim3 Campaign. My players are lvl 17 and ~80% through the story

@Lizziemanan That’s so awesome! Campaign or one shot?

Playing DnD tonight 🐉 🎲 📖 It’s ok to be jealous 😜 Bet you can never guess which character is mine 😅

Marco Rubio when he realizes he has to be the next Bachelorette 🌹.

This is a cool idea for a home for ghost types. Would have never thought to build at the zone boundary in order to utilize the fog
