A Sister's Testimony

A few weeks ago, I was asked to give a talk in Church.  I was given 5 topics to choose from which is not normal.  Usually, you are given a specific topic.  The Topic I chose was "The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ".

I was struggling with how to present the topic.  This was Investigator Sunday.  It was hard for me, because I had never been an investigator, but I had been raised in the Church.  So I called Mom.

After that, I hung up to continue to work on my talk.  Not a moment too soon, my phone rings.  It was Amber.  She asked what I was doing.  I let her know that I was trying to prepare for a talk.  She said that mom had told her that I was going to give a talk on Sunday.  Amber said that she knew that I had been trying to get a hold of her for a few days, and when she got off the phone she had to call me.

She asked what my talk was about, and I told her.  Then I told her why I was struggling.  In not a direct way, Amber bore her testimony of the Book of Mormon.  As I listened to her, my heart filled with Joy.  I think the most comforting thing that she said was this.

"It is easy to be skeptical of the Book of Mormon.  And yet, once you read it you can't deny the power of the Book of Mormon.  It's message is that we all have a purpose.  That we all are loved and this book can bring peace to the soul."

Amber,

Thank You for your testimony.  I don't think that I can add anything to it.  You are a tremendous person, and have such a big heart.  I love you so much!!!  Keep being your tender hearted self.
