陳明香姊妹 Sister Ming Xiang Chen



記得那天傍晚下著傾盆大雨。到處彌漫著霧氣,天也開始暗下來了,路上幾乎見不到一個人影。車輛也少得可憐,天氣又寒冷刺骨。我先生看著窗外嘆氣地說:「這樣的天氣,今天拜訪我們兩位傳教士不會來了。」「是啊!誰會在這麽惡劣的天氣出門呢?!」我應和著。

「柳弟兄,陳姐妹,你們在家嗎?我們是跟你們約好拜訪你們家庭的傳教士王長老和李長老……」就在我們否定不到十分鐘的時間後,這樣熱誠的聲音出現在我們家門外……

我與我先生都無比的驚訝和感動,驚訝的是,什麽樣的信心和什麽樣的精神,讓他們堅持不懈地給我們一家傳播,我們一無所知他們口中所謂的「美好福音」;感動的是,什麽樣的忠心信仰和什麽樣的奉獻熱枕,讓他們如此賣力地追隨他們口中所稱的「救主耶穌基督的路」。

因爲這樣的驚訝、感動、困惑、使我們得以幸運的機會在福音中倘佯、享受、摸索。不久我和我先生都歸信了我主。因爲我們不僅找到了我們困惑的答案,還得到了我們更「寶貴的」,這個「寶貴的」不是可以用這世界上任何東西換取和購買到的,那就是「獲得幸福的道路」。

先知約瑟斯密教導,「幸福是我們生存的目標和目的,如果我們走在那條通往那裏的路上,必能到達終點,而那條路就是美德、正直、忠信;聖潔和遵守神所有的誡命。」是的,我們一家人的共同目標和目的地就是「永恒的幸福」。我們時刻謹記著先知的教導,行走在通往那裏的路上。儘管我們路途中會面臨著種種的挑戰和險境,但我們都在心中和行爲上深刻地愛我們的救主福音的薰陶,並且我們都忠心地歸信於主耶穌基督,現在我們更加確信救主耶穌基督已藉由衪的贖罪賜給我們希望和獲得永恒幸福的方式,永生的道路。

我和我的先生,都深深地相信並且知道我們的天父是活著的神,耶穌是基督,並且愛我們。我在此作見證,是奉耶穌基督的名,阿們!









I can still remember that it was raining heavily that evening. It was starting to get dark and very foggy. You could barely see anyone on the street. There wasn't many cars and the weather was so cold that it could pierce right through you. My husband looked out the window and sighed, "With this weather, the two missionaries that will be coming to visit us will not come." I replied, "Yeah! Who would go out in such adverse weather?"

"Brother Liu, Sister Chen, are you home? We are Elder Wang and Elder Li, the missionaries that set an appointment to come visit your family..." It was after 10 minutes of our conversation that we heard this enthusiastic voice coming from outside our door.

My husband and I were very surprised and touched as to what kind of faith and spirit that allowed them to be so persistent in coming to our home to preach the gospel. We knew nothing about what they mentioned about this wonderful gospel. We were touched because what kind of devotion and dedication to one's faith allowed them to use all their energy to follow what they call The Savior Jesus Christ's way.

Because we were surprised, touched and confused, we are very lucky to have the opportunity to have the gospel in our lives, to enjoy and explore it. Not long, my husband and I were converted to The Lord. We not only found answers to our confusion, but also obtained something more precious that cannot be exchanged with anything on this earth or be bought and that is the road of happiness.

Prophet Joseph Smith taught "Happiness is our goal and purpose in survival. If we walk on the path that leads to happiness, we will reach the destination. And that road is virtue, honesty, loyalty; pure and keeping all of God's commandments." Yes, our family's common goal and purpose is eternal happiness. We will always remember the Prophet's teaching and to walk on that path. No matter what kind of challenges or situations we may face, we still deeply love our Savior's gospel in our hearts and behavior. We are devoted to our Lord Jesus Christ. We firmly believe that our Savior Jesus Christ through His Atonement gave us hope and the way of eternal happiness which is the road to eternal life.

My husband and I deeply believe and know that our Heavenly Father is the living God, Jesus is the Christ and loves us. This is my testimony. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
