i love to laugh

"And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh so that all that hear will laugh with me." - Genesis 21:6
(The footnote fo this scripture replaces the word "laugh" with the word "rejoice.")

Laughter is evidence that your body doesn't have room enough to hold the joy and happiness inside you. The happiness simply has no where to go, but out. It bursts forth in whatever form (see the lyrics to Mary Poppins' I love to laugh) and is generally a true, uninhibited expression of feeling.

My loving Heavenly Father has overwhelmed me with blessings - my family, friends, the Book of Mormon, and most importantly a way to live with Him again. The truth and light of this world is our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the way, the only way. It is through Him that we can live with our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and our families forever. The only way. And God has blessed me with this knowledge and a testimony that this is true. This knowledge, fills me with an inexplicable joy that simply has no where to go, but out. That is why I'm a missionary. As a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I have the opportunity to laugh (rejoice) every day so that all who hear will laugh (rejoice) with me. The purpose of this blog is to share the joy that is found through  the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

"Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will priase our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much fo his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel." - Alma 26:16
