so much to learn

Sometimes I find it overwhelming to realize how much there is to learn about the gospel and from the scriptures. There are so many scripture stories that I don't know completely or verses that don't make sense to me. There are even times where I sit down and try to put all my energy to piecing together a passage in Isaiah and I come out feeling like I lack the knowledge to REALLY say I understand the gospel. As I think about this I realize that while there are always new things that I can learn and more for me to understand, the gospel really is made up of simple truths. As I relearn some of these simple truths that is when I have a confirmation of my testimony. I am grateful for those moments. Today I had the experience of feeling a simple truth whispered to me. I learned (again) that Heavenly Father loves each of His children and he wants us all to partake of the blessings of baptism. I am glad that I was able to relearn this and understand how important it is to support those that are interested and exploring the possibility of baptism.
