I Got Baptized! (Excerpt Testimonial)

I got baptized! It's surreal. Prior to the baptism, I had to write a short testimonial. It was probably the hardest thing to write because it made me felt vulnerable. Nonetheless, I did it. And the day of my baptism could've have been more wonderful. Thank you friends and family for making this day super special.


Except from my testimonial. :)



One day, I listened to the gospel thru an app. I would fall asleep listening to the voice of the man whom I would meet one day at church. Although I couldn't understand it, it kept me alive. Then He came to me in a dream. My surrounding was very dark. Then I saw Him. He was in a form of a very small fish and he had a light on his head. It dawned on me that I was in the ocean. Underwater. (I have a black belt in drowning) He shined and guided me throughout my dream. I felt secured. Safe. Loved. As my dreams progressed, so did my fish. He would turn into a bigger fish, and the ocean would get clearer and brighter. I went where I pleased, and it followed, shining a light wherever I went. Soon, my dream became crystal clear. The little fish transformed into a majestic whale, and he paves the way for me in my now clear blue sea, where everything is visible.


This dream happened in the spurt of several weeks. Within those weeks, I went to to E3LA and E3Irvine. I also started attending branch. Everytime I left branch, I am filled with love again. Almost no one ever says it will be easy. Actually, most say it will be hard. Really, really hard. But knowing that Christ is in me, I tell myself, day after day, that it will be easy. That it’s impossible to be afraid, when I dwell in truth. That Jesus is the way. The light. The truth. That wherever I’m drawn, I go. And it’s usually God talking to me. And the way I can be certain it’s Him is that both my head and heart will agree. 

God, how I love you.
