TESTIFY! TESTIFY! TESTIFY!

Well, its been about 2 week since my first post. In the last two weeks I have had some experiances that have strenghtened my conversion. Ill start by talking about some departing missionarys, yesterday I was able to see 9 missionarys give the last testimony of there mission, I have served around a few of them and seen them grow in the gospel. As each of them rose to speak the Spirit testifyed that what they where saying was true. This definatly remined me that in order to keep our testimony of Christ, we should participate in the listening of testimonys, and bearing our testimony. When truth is spoken of the Spirit lets us know, I felt the prompting of truth and was edifyed and learned. I am beginning to understand that the more I share what I know the more I invite the spirit to be with me, and the stronger my conversion is.

Testify, Testify, Testify, thats the title of this post, I have learned from experience that its the spirit that conversion comes through. When I was a missionary in the Timuquana area I had a very special experiance that was key in the conversion of others. On a wensday night class I was teaching a lesson on Revelation, tword the end of the lesson I realized that I had not shared my testimony of revelation, so I testifyed of a time when I recived revelation and a powerful spirit of truth, I began to testify of Christ and his Gospel, the spirit was so powerful that the air stood still and not a decibel was sounded, the world seemed to stand still. Then the class began to also testify of revelation, then one student raised her hand and began to tell of the revelation she had recived from the spirit the the testimony I had given, the revelation she recived from the spirit and testimony had resolved all of her concerns and fears, she was baptize with in the week.
Testimony is not just for us to hold with in us, but it is to share with all the world. When Mary Magdalene, and Mary came to the tomb of Christ, they where met by an Angel who informed them that Christ had risen and was raised from the dead, his charge "And go quickly, and tell his disicples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there ye shall see him: lo, I have told you."(Matt. 28:7) Just like the angel told Mary and Mary to go and tell, we to must tell of truth.

I so Testify that Jesus Is the Messiah of the world , by his srtipes I am healed. I Have felt the amazing power of his Atonement, I have felt the forgivness that comes on throught Him. I know with all my faith that it is through him that I will be able to live with my Heavenly Father. I testify of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I know that there is a Prophet on the earth again, and that Christs full gospel has been restored. All these things I know by the Holy Spirit of Truth. I say these things, not fo my self but of he who has called me to be his disicple, even Jesus Christ, Amen.
