Hey Everyone! I'm Skyler Kelley and I grew up in Temple City, California! I am currently a missionary serving in the Minnesota Minneapolis Mission and it's been quite the adventure!
Earlier
this week, as we were driving in the car, I looked out and saw a Kelley
Boulevard street sign! I've never seen a street sign with my name on
it! This made me so excited and we just had to stop to take a picture.
Names are so important. They always have been and always will be! I want
to briefly share my testimony of the most important name in the history
of mankind, Jesus Christ.
Once
you are set apart as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, you are given a black name tag to wear. This tag has
two things, your name and Jesus Christ's name. This tag shows who and
what you represent. At first, it was an adjustment to wear a tag that
made me stand out so much, the awkward stares and quick look aways made
things a little difficult in my first few weeks as a missionary. But
here's the thing that I realized soon after those few weeks: even when I
have felt alone, defeated, broken, unlovable, helpless or embarrassed,
my Savior, Jesus Christ has stood beside me and has never abandoned me.
He loves me unconditionally and continually goes before me. He knows
me.
That's why I decided
to serve a mission, and that's why I decided to make a change and wear
His name over my heart with confidence and virtue! Even though for the
next year I will physically wear His name, I know His name is written on
my heart forever. How do you write Christ's name upon your heart?
