        什么是信仰？也许这是很多80-90年代后都觉得我们处于21世纪的人，怎么还会相信这些神话。其实信仰不是迷信，而是对心灵净化、提高个人素质、品德道德教育，约束自我、完善自我。圣经不但是神的话语，同时也是对我们的一种警示，什么是对的和什么是错的。

    人的一生都在做选择，什么可以做什么不可以做，什么可以吃什么不可以吃，往往做出选择后就开始后悔了，所以我们需要为自己犯的错去买单。

    2012年是我人生中一个转变也是一次让我重新对生活充满信心的时机。2008年，我来到美国开始了新的生活，一个人生地不熟地方，一个不同语言的国度，过着机器人一样的生活，唯一的信念就是努力干活，改善生活。不知道未来的路是什么要怎么走，对未来没有任何的信心。

    自从一个朋友的出现改变一切，那就是带我去教会，当时我就觉得干活累死了哪有时间去教会不如好好的在家睡觉，而且去了不知道干什么。在朋友一次又一次的游说下，踏入人生第一次进入的教会（耶稣基督后期圣徒教会），给我什么感觉，朋友兄弟，一种说不出来的感觉，就是喜欢，后来我明白了就是家庭的感觉，来教会后我学会很多东西，也寻回了自信。对自己有信心一切都会变得简单。以上所说奉耶稣基督之名阿门。

Brother Ye Wen Feng:

        What is a faith? Many born in the 80's, 90's think that people from the 21st century don't need these religious myths. In all reality, faith isn't about myths or legends, it's about purifying your heart, improving your nature, learning morals and integrity, restraining yourself, and perfecting yourself. The Bible isn't just the word of God, it is also a voice of warning, telling us what is and isn't right.

        Life is full of decisions you have to make, what you're going to do, what you're going to eat, but oftentimes after you make decisions you start to regret what you did, so we need to pay the price for the mistakes we make.

        The year 2012 brought change to my life, it was also the year that made me have a new faith-filled perspective on life. Coming to America in 2008 started a new life for me. In such an unfamiliar place, with such a different language, living life like a robot, my only conviction was to work more diligently to improve my life. I didn't know what my path in front of me was, or even how to walk it, I had no faith for my future,

        Then, a friend appeared and changed everything. He brought me to church. At the time I thought that since working made me so tired there was no way going to church was going to make me happier than going home and sleeping, let alone the fact that I had no time for church, and then, when I went I had no idea what was going on. But, nevertheless, because of my friend's continual persuasion did I join a church for the first time (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). The feeling that joining the church gave me is one that I couldn't describe, I just felt happy. Later, I came to understand that church was just a big family, and that feeling I had was love. I learned a lot through going to church, and I found self-confidence. When you have faith in yourself everything will become much more simple. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
