Testimony ups and downs
I investigate the church year 1980’s. It was a year that i met a friend their family are all Latter-Day Saint.”Mormons”…I was curious and though my parents forbid me to go to meeting house…I tried to attend,listen to what d leaders are talking, it seems so hard to let my parents understand but still I was with them in every activity. I escaped just to listen..There are no chapel yet, but I was actively sharing my time with the members. Years past…I am more eager to know of the true church. Then in my dream…a great light shown brightly towards me..It was a moment of vision. I was not yet a member but when I pray I prayed directly above. It was year 1989,Jan. when I decided to join the church coz I felt in my heart God loves me and I am a child of God. I know Heavenly Father loves each and everyone of us. I was overwhelmed with all the testimonies I heard fr.each member. Jesus Christ atoned for our sins. Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only true church. The year I was babtized was a great year of ups and downs. My parents scolded me, burned and teared down my things about church. Embarassed and I always shouted at jinks coz of mormonisms negative views. Every year I struggled to go back with full strenght. Bishops and all leaders admired me that I was always given a calling. Life was 50%good and 50% bad.. It was hard coz I choose a non- member. I was blessed 3 sons, there ages are 18,(he was not w me,living with tita…15 and 12..I was ashamed to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because I didn’t do my best to stand up. WHY? There are still unanswered questions.. I know the church is true, the restoration of the gospel is true, the Book of Mormon is true . Oh help me to be strong, to be strong with my faith unto thee, forgive me for my insecurities, weaknesses, unhappy feelings…I know God will heal the wounded spirit inside my countenance. Forgive me, if you find this story difficult to understand. I am not perfect but the church is perfect!!! Sorry. But deep in my heart I love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ….I want to testify upon the whole earth the church is true and perfect!!! Mormons are true disciples of God and I share this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
