Devotional...
This is a time when all recently baptized members come to
share their conversion story and bear their testimonies. It is a
most interesting and uplifting meeting. We hold one of these
devotionals every third Sunday at the Historic Liberty Jail,
(HLJ) for those that live nearest to that site. One is also held
the first Sunday of every month at the Independence Visitors'
Center (IVC) for those living closer to there.
Last night we had 5 recent converts stand up and give us their
stories and testimonies. Each of them had a common concern,
"They wanted a church that lived what they taught...true
Christians!" They each had a story of how they got there, but
they each testified of the love they felt from the members, and
the truth of what they learned from the missionaries. They all
testified of feeling that they had "come home", so to speak.
One couple talked about how the gospel saved their marriage.
They had been searching for a church and were about to give
up when the missionaries knocked on their door. The gospel
"...saved our marriage", they said. President and Sister Vest
gave sweet messages and bore strong testimonies of the
Doctrine of Christ! It was a good meeting! I'm so glad we
were there to witness the power of testimony and conversion!
