Ended the week with white jumpsuits!! Sister Silvia got baptized! The Bamburi 1 Elders also had a baptism of Sister Jacklin. Elder Mathemera baptized both of them. It was such a great day! Silvia bore such a powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon and of the truthfulness of the Restoration. How she has seen changes in her home from this church and how it has made it her way more happy then she ever knew was possible! Ahhhh it was so nice! We went and visited Silvia after church and we watched the Hour long version of the Restoration. She really enjoyed it and it helped her testimony grew and then she fed us a feast! It was the best way to end the day.
We had some great lessons this week with Eric, Michelle, and Erida and her son Roney. We gave Erida and Roney baptismal dates of the 25th of February! They are very excited and we know they will get there. Let me just tell you the powerfulness of the Book of Mormon. When people read it, they come to a higher knowledge and receive the truth. Obviously your heart and mind must be open. But EVERYONE who truly reads it DOES gain that witness that it is true. We met with Susan, Lilian and Robert also this week. On Wednesday Robert wasn't around but we went over the Law of Chastity with Susan and Lilian and it was a great lesson! Its so great to see people accept to follow. We saw them again on Sunday and they are also gaining that witness. Susan is in 2 Nephi 2, Lilian is just a few chapters behind and Robert is in 1 Nep. 20!! Susan texted us this last week and said she's sorry she wouldn't be able to come to church but she said she really wants to be baptized in our church. We expressed our excitement and asked her why. She said she loves our church and knows that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God!! I love that family as well!!
I finished the Book of Mormon this last week again. I always put Moroni's words to the test.
"3. Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
I prayed again and got my witness again that it is a true book. Its so simple!! Just read, ponder and pray and YOU CAN know for yourself. You dont have to ask Google, or your parents or friends. Ask God who knows everything and doesn't want you to be lost or confused, you are his child. If you have not yet gained your own witness of it. I invite you to just give it a try. It WILL change your life.
Nina jua kanisa niakweli. Naikwamba Joseph Smith ni nabii wa mungu. Na kupitia Joseph Smith kanisa limerejeshwa. Ninajua pia Kitabu Cha Mormoni kina matunzo yote ya Yesu Kristo. Nina jua sote ni watoto wa mungu. Na inatupenda na anajibu maombi yetu. Mmeona na kusikia upendo wa mungu. Kina jua Kristo anaishi na ninampenda kwa moyo wangu wote. Niwajibu kuwa mmojo wa watoto wake. Na mwisho najua injili inabariki familia na zaweza kuwa pamoja milele. Ninasema haya yote kwa jina la Yesu Kristo amina.
