 "Well... I'm back" - Sam Gamgee.

And... I wish I wasn't. I wish I was still there with all of them, still hanging out, still going to classes, still having spiritual experiences with that group, still drinking rootbeer, eating M&Ms, laughing, hanging out.

Long story short, I just got back from FSY. 

I loved it so much, I felt and am feeling the spirit so strongly, I felt impressions, I made friends, I joked around, I sat still, I was reverent (or, I tried to be... I failed half of the time), I sung well for the first time in ages...

I wish, oh I wish more than anything, that it could have gone on for an entire month. And, hopefully, I can make it so. Make it so I can continue having those experiences, continue to meet people, to continue to talk to people, continue to feel the spirit, continue to love god and man.

Oh, I love this gospel... I just want to say that if any part of the gospel is in doubt, I will hold firm. I will try to. What comes next will be hard. But... with everything happening, with the world changing all around us, with everything coming into question... we have to rely on our belief, our knowledge. 

I know without a shadow of a doubt that our Saviour, Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Messiah, Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, is real and that he loves us. Please, please, never forget that. Even if it seems like the whole world doesn't love you, there is a loving God who does, there is someone out there who loves you for who you are. Not who you are not, but who you truly are. And, since he knows, he can tell us. 

We are the army of Helaman, my fellow youth, my fellow generation. We are the Youth Battalion. And, those who are not of my generation, you are too. You are loved, you can be saved, and you can fight valiantly for what you believe in.

Sorry if I went off on an ultra-religious tangent there, but... I want to shout it to the rooftops.

With love,
