If we didn’t have the scriptures or the words of God with us while we’re talking about same sex marriage, I wouldn’t be able to understand the full truth about eternal marriages. My testimony about the gospel grew and I was able to know what the truth is and why it is so important to know the truth, especially in this world full of temptations. American Heritage School has shaped me into a student that is willing to learn, study, and think beyond what is being taught at
