Sauna, I used to ask myself, “Ngano moattend mn kog seminary?” My answers then ranged from mao may ingon nila mama, or magpa snacks mn si bishop or para makita si crushicakes huieee
But seriously, before, kapoyan jud ko. 4 sometimes 5 am mo mata. Sometimes I would think, “kas–kas ramani sa oras oi.” naa paman unta koy mga assignments, or quizzes na studyhan. All I could see was the lack of sleep, the early mornings, and the extra responsibility on top of school.
But reflecting back on it, I realized seminary has helped me a lot.

Because of seminary, even when life became stressful with exams, extracurriculars, competitions, or problems with peers, I felt lighter and more peaceful. Seminary had a way of making me feel like the Lord would be with me throughout the rest of the day. And that feeling is what I started to look forward to, to begin my day.
Seminary did not just teach me kinsay nagpatay ni Laban or giunsa ni Moses pagtunga sa dagat. But it also taught me how to trust Heavenly Father, how to keep going even when life feels overwhelming, and how to stay close to Jesus Christ even when the world is confusing and difficult.

Karun kay mograduate na, I’m very happy, not just because finally taas na ako time for beauty sleep but because I was able to feel the blessings that come from seminary, and the blessings that I know, I will continue to feel because of it.
Seminary has truly been one of the best experiences of my youth, and I know I am a better person because of it. I know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know and love each of us personally. They gave us programs like seminary to guide us, strengthen us, and help us personally feel Their love.

And I know that a life centered on Jesus Christ, a life where His gospel is taught, lived, and remembered every day, is a life where true peace and happiness can really be found. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I testify that Jesus Christ lives. Because of Heavenly Father’s love for us, He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us. ♡ I testify that because of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are enabled to return to Their presence someday.

I testify that this Church is true. I know that the Prophet Joseph Smith was the prophet of the Restoration and that we have a living prophet today, President Dallin H. Oaks.

I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I witnessed on my mission how that book changed many lives, and how it blessed my life. ♡

I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us so much. He knows us more than we can comprehend. I testify that They know the challenges we face. And I am grateful to be a part of this work.

I know that many are called but few are chosen, and I know that I am chosen because I choose to be chosen. ♡

I testify to you with all of the energy of my heart that God is our loving Father, Jesus Christ is our Savior. This is His work, the message of the Restoration is true, the gospel is true, The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints is the only true church upon the face of the earth and the Book of Mormon is definitely the words of God, it changes everything. I am blessed to be part of His errand and witnessed how glorious He was as He worked miracles to others through my service. I'm grateful that the Lord had placed me in Pangasinan where I was able to possessed spiritual gifts and be an instrument to bless others.
