Being in Las Vegas is known as Sin City.
You think, "Oh, it's so hard to go to school.
I can't have the Spirit with me." You can make your
surroundings better, and you can make holy places.
I believe that when youth are sharing their testimony of the
Savior, Jesus Christ, they stand in holy places.
Well, the reason we're on this earth is to improve.
And I truly believe that the gospel gives us a desire to
improve ourselves in every area.
If you want to do the job at something, you have to work.
You can't just expect it to come.
Especially with this concert, where I have a big solo, and
I've never played a solo before.
I've done all that I can.
I've prayed.
I've studied the life of Christ.
And I've asked Heavenly Father to help me prepare.
I've put it into the Lord's hands, and I know that I've
put forth my effort and He is going to take care
of the rest of it.
I've learned that He built us to accomplish His work.
The moment we step into that room and begin to sing and
play, it's not Tara and Jessica and all these
different people, but it's disciples of Christ and
representatives of Him.
It's so incredible to see youth who have that testimony
and who want to come together and practice and share what
they know about the gospel.
If I didn't have a testimony, I don't know where I would be,
what choices I would have made different.
And that--my life, when I think about it, would be
totally different.
When you bear your testimony, you pretty much make wherever
you are a holy place.
It strengthens your testimony and strengthens others who
really want to listen, who have the Spirit
with them, to listen.
We are doing things for the Savior, and we're not doing it
for ourselves.
And we're doing it for others.
And that's what the Savior wants, is to not think of
yourself, but to think of other people and to stand by
those who stand in need of comfort, and to
reach out to people.
And that's what we're doing here.
Being Zion's youth, to me, is standing as a witness of Him
and just declaring to the world that He lives, and the
message of hope and peace that He has to offer.
[MUSIC - "I AM THE RESURRECTION"] (SINGING) I am
the resurrection.
I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will never die.
He shall believe.
There are so many ways to bear your testimony.
I mean, like, for me it's music.
For some it's talking.
For some it's just doing service or just being kind to
people, and that's how they bear their testimony.
So wherever you are, you can bloom where you're planted and
make where you are a special place and a holy place.
