Being The first sunday of the month. I was preparing to bare my testemony to our ward here in nonoai. The last week had been very spiritual and gratifying. And i felt that i needed to bare my testemony to let not only my testemony grow but also the testemony of others. As the bishop passed the time to the members, my heart started pounding really hard. But what happened next, was very unexpecting... Suddenly, all  of the young men of the ward got up to bare their testemony of the church. But even more suprising , all of the recent converts that i had the privilegde to help convert, got up and bore their testemonies as well. The words they said were from the heart, and i couldnt help smiling a huge smile all sacrament meeting long. What joy it gave me to know that all of those that the lord blessed me with, understood the gosple and why they were there. all bore their testemonies... One who was absolutly scared of talking in public even took me aside to help him bare his testemony. I did not get the opportunity to bare my testemony this last sunday but the lord blessed me with a wonderful happiness that i havent felt before. I know that the church is true, im not saying that i did anything in their conversion. But i feel so greatful that the lord trusted in me to be his instrument. This week was so sweet and i cant wait for this next week, because the lord is full of suprises and im anxious to see the next one. I love you all So Much . Take Care
