*** This is my testimony that I wrote for our Andersen Family Newsletter on March 9, 1998. These words still describe my feelings today (2020)
Dear Family,
My testimony of the Savior stems from the deep gratitude I feel for His influence in my life - Gratitude that He supported Heavenly Fathers plan; gratitude for His exemplary life on earth; gratitude for His suffering for our sins; gratitude for Him giving His life, even when He had the power to live on so that He could rise and give each of us the ability to be ressurected; and gratitude that He has left with us His Peace. I love the scripture in John 14:27 that says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you". Jesus knew that He wouldn't be able to be with His disciples for a long time. He wanted to leave with them something that would comfort them in His absence, so He left for them His peace. I know that the Savior loves each of us and that He offers us this same peace to comfort us and inspire us. Many times in my life I've felt peace through the Savior. There is no experience that the world offers that can match it. It only comes through Him. This is my testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
