I went to Savior of the World play, and I can't adequately explain to you the feelings that I felt while watching it, but I'm sure going to try.
First off, I've been doing this thing where I try to pretend that I'm investigating our church whenever I study about it/go to church functions. While watching the play, I saw the events leading up the nativity scene and thought, "Alright, this is all basic Christian stuff." (Note: I honestly can't even imagine not being Christian, so I admit I am a little biased that way.) But, there was a part in the play (I actually think it was a fairly uneventful part, so my mind was wandering) and I was suddenly struck with the feeling that Jesus Christ is REAL. He is truly our Savior; He came to this world and saved it. He wants us to come to know Him so that we can truly know of His love for us. I was then struck with the thought: "There are too many people out there who don't know this. They don't even know who Jesus is; the person who loves them more than they can ever imagine. I want to tell them all about it!" The play ended with the apostles, who, because of their love for the Lord, literally spent their lives telling as many people as they could talk to about the Son of God. What an amazing group of examples for me to follow!
There isn't time for those of us who are blessed enough to know the full truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to not give others the chance to know it also. I don't think there is any justification for us to keep this message to ourselves. I can't wait to be a missionary, and I don't think I should wait to be a "missionary" to be a missionary. So, I'm going to make this promise [via blog post] to make my life a testament of Him in any way that I can, and never have the regret that comes with keeping good things to myself.
