"A testimony of the gospel is a personal witness borne to our souls by the Holy
Ghost that certain facts of eternal significance are true and that we know them to be true."

Without a doubt
 



Bring a hand weight to class.  Choose a volunteer that will probably be able to life the weight but struggle a little.  Ask the child if it was easy. (Thank them and have them go back to their seat).  Discuss how a testimony is a feeling given by the Holy Ghost testifies of truth.  This testimony does not stay the same, just like our muscles.. It gets weaker if we do not nourish it. It grows as we do things that help us gain a better understanding of gospel principles....again, just like our muscles.
I have to give our first counselor the credit for this idea -- the girls absolutely loved it! She had mixed cornstarch and water in a bowl (if you haven't tried it, you ought to!). She then grabbed a glob of the mixture and started working it in her hands making it into a ball (like the actions to "Popcorn Popping"). She told the girls that as long as she kept working on it, it would hold together and get stronger. Then she completely stopped working the mix and it instantly melted through her fingers. She explained that when she stopped working on it, it fell apart -- much like a testimony, you have to continually work on strengthening it. The girls asked to see the demonstration a couple more times, partly because they thought it was disgustingly cool to watch.  Note: Make sure you put towels on the table or carpet because it is messy! You may want to wear something machine washable in case it splatters, but our leader wiped the mess right off the carpet with a wet towel.  (Shared by Stephanie Valdez / ga08082007)
