在一九六二年的香港,我第一次接觸傳教士。傳教士站在門外,
之後傳教士仍然沒有放棄,不斷勸我的母親讓我洗禮。不久後,
在教會,我似是一個大姊姊,很多人年紀比我小,跟我妹妹差不多。
我加入教會已五十一年了。六二年洗禮,當我還是二十二歲的時候。
雖然我知道的不多,但是很多的時候,當我祈禱,都得到應驗。
The following is Sister Hsu Pui Fun's conversion story
My first contact with Missionaries was in Hong Kong in 1962. The Missionaries were standing outside my door and my mother saw two foreigners. They asked if they could come in for 5 minutes. My mother
immediately said: "sure!" My sister and I were asked to welcome them. Subsequently, the Missionaries began teaching the gospel and would come to our house every week. When it came for us to be baptized, my mother did not allow both of her daughters to be baptized. She only allowed my sister to be baptized and I could not. It was because she only had 2 daughters and if the both of us joined the church, no one would pay respect to her when she died. Even though the Missionaries tried to convince my mother, she would not change her mind, so the Missionaries decided to baptized my sister first.
Afterwards, the Missionaries still did not give up and continued to convince my mother to let me get baptized. Not long later, my mother allowed me to get baptized. My baptism was at Kowloon Tong where the Temple is now located at. At that time in Hong Kong, there were two Sacrament Meetings, one in the morning and another at night. My mother only allowed me to attend the Sacrament Meeting at night after I had cooked dinner and washed the dishes. In church, I was the big sister as most of the members were about the same age as my younger sister. Everyone called me big sister or "Big Fu" and my sister "Small Fu" as our last name was Fu.
I've joined the church for 51 years. I was baptized in 1962 and I was only 22 years old.
Even though I do not know a lot, but most of the time when I pray, whatever I asked for would come true. I know that this Church is true. Our church is the right Church. I believe that God chose a prophet to lead us.
Thank you Sister Fu for your example of faith, courage and commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ:) You are a pioneer! Love, Sister Rose Marie Murray - mom of Elder Murray
