曹鵬弟兄 Brother Peng Cao

人生充滿各種選擇，人可以選擇任何一種作為自己的生活方式。

就好像過馬路的十個人，也可能有十種不同走法。我很幸運,我在2013年5月12日那一天遇到傳教士陳姊妹。雖然當時我有很多聽不懂,但是我被她的熱情和執着給吸引住了。我想這應該是天父預備的道路,讓我們每一個人做的抉擇都是我們為時間所定的功用。

在一個沒有標準參考的世代,有人認為自己就是標準,這種生活方式被命為「自由」。但是如果自己的感受就是標準的話,自己真的可靠嗎?後來我想到自己之前遇到傳教士，可以尋找他們的幫助。剛開始他們跟我說家庭可以永遠在一起和永恆的快樂時,我還不怎麼認同,只是覺得還不錯。因為我以前從來沒有接觸過基督教和神!但是這並沒有中斷我繼續了解神的話。最重要的事，是我去了解傳教士們的經歷,讓我大為震撼。我不知道他們付出這麼大的犧牲,離開自己的家鄉,離開自己的家，和放棄自己的學業,來到異地去傳教。而且是每一天。我以前以為他們只是一個禮拜一天去傳教,沒想到是這麼無私的奉獻和去完成神的事工！讓我明白他們這麼偉大的付出,這個教會應該會是真實的,我有了繼續來到教會的興趣。

我從第一次到教會直到現在差不多有八個月了。這個過程中雖然有很多困難和挑戰,也有很多開心和難過,也有要我放棄去教會的念頭。但是這些都讓我的生活很充滿,不再是單調,讓我覺得每一次去教會都是值得的,也都有很大的收穫。

這裏每一個人都很有愛心,讓我覺得這是自己家一樣很溫馨。傳教士也跟我分享神的福音,教導我福音的重要性，和幫助別人可以帶給自己真正的快樂!後來我選擇加入他們，就接受洗禮,我受洗加入耶穌基督後期聖徒教會。她改變了我的生活。

Life is filled with many different choices. We can choose the kind of life we would like to have. It is just like when 10 people are crossing the road, there are 10 different ways of walking. I was very lucky to have met Sister Chan on 12 May 2013. I did not really understand much of what she said, but I was attracted to her
enthusiasm. I think that this is the road that God has prepared, allowing all of our decisions work out for the best throughout time.

In a world without a standard to look towards, some people say that whatever way they feel like living is the right way. They call this type of lifestyle "freedom". If you say that the right way to live is just whatever you feel like, is that really something that you can put your trust in?

After thinking about this, I remembered the missionaries that I had run into. I went over to ask them to help me understand. In the beginning they told me about how families could be together forever and how we could have eternal happiness, but I didn't really believe them. I just thought that it was pretty cool. That's just because I've never come across Christianity or God before. This didn't stop me from learning more about God.

Most importantly was understanding the missionaries' experience. They really impressed me. I didn't know the great sacrifice they make by leaving their homes, leaving their families, and putting aside educational pursuits in order to come out to a foreign place on a mission. On top of that is the fact that they do this missionary work every single day! Previously, I had thought that they were only doing this once a week. I had never thought that they have been this selfless in dedicating themselves to the work of the Lord! Understanding the sacrifice that they gave made me think that this church has got to be true. I continued to have a desire to keep coming to church.

It's been about eight months from the first time that I have been to church. This journey has had a lot of challenges and afflictions. There have been many ups and downs. At one point I even had the thought of giving up on the church altogether. All of these experiences have filled my life. I'm not just going through the same old, monotonous, daily routines anymore. I actually have a brighter hope. I think that every time I go to church it is always worth it. I always get a lot out of it. All of the people here are filled with love, and make me feel like I'm home. The missionaries have also shared the gospel with me, its importance, and how helping others is the way to find true happiness. Finally, I decided to become part of them by getting baptized. I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It has changed my life.

當我還沒上學的時候，大概五歲的時候，我去外婆家，她家旁邊就是一個教會。我經常去那個教會裡玩，我也看到牆壁上很多關於耶穌基督的圖片，其中包括從衪出生，到被釘在十字架上。雖然當時看到很多圖片，但是不知道其中的義意。一直到我來到美國，我的太太在街上碰到傳教士，對她們教會產生很多的興趣。接著，她進行傳教士課程，最後接受洗禮。那天，我也有去她的洗禮會。那次是我第一次去耶穌基督後期聖徒教會。之後我成為傳教士的好朋友，我也學習了一些福音，了解到耶穌基督的生平、衪的贖罪。最後我得到了見證。我知道約瑟斯密在樹林裡看到父與子，我知道這是真實的，所以我也加入教會，受洗並成為一位後期聖徒，對福音中的智慧很感興趣，在不斷地學習，想了解更多關於神的話語。

在我加入教會後，我上了聖職課程，知道我們有復興的聖職，它的來源，也得到見證。我知道只有擁有由神傳下來的權柄的教會才是神真實的教會，我們有麥基洗德聖職和亞倫聖職。這些都是神所制定的。因為我們是一個復興的教會，我們也擁有復興的聖職。經文中也有提及聖職的復興，我們可以從中知道事情的真實性，我們應該運用聖職彼此服務。

When I was about 5 years old and have not yet attended school, I would go to my grandmother's house and there is a church right next to her house. I would often go to that church to play and would see a lot of Christ's pictures on the wall. Among some of the pictures were His birth and crucification. Even though I saw a lot of pictures, I did not know it's meaning. It was only until I arrived in the USA, my wife was on the street and met the Missionaries. She developed a lot of interest in the church and started taking Missionary lessons and was baptized. I went to her baptism that day. That was the first time that I went to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Afterwards, I became good friends with the Missionaries and learned the gospel. I understood the life of Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Finally, I obtained a testimony. I know that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ in the Sacred Grove. I know that this is true. I joined the church, was baptized and became a Latter-Day Saint. I have great interest in the gospel and I am still studying it continually as I want to understand more about God's word.

After I have joined the church, I attended Priesthood class and know that we have the restored Priesthood. I know where it came from and have a testimony of it. I know that the church that has the Priesthood Authority from God is the true church. We have the Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthood and it is ordained of God. Because we are the restored church, we have the restored Priesthood. The Bible also mention about the restored Priesthood and so we can know of its truthfulness. We need to use the Priesthood to serve one another.

陳文棋弟兄 Brother Wen Qi Chen

我是耶穌基督後期聖徒教會成員，但我不會忘記傳教士傳給我的福音，是她幫助我了解天父和衪的愛子耶穌基督。起初，我認為《聖經》和《摩爾門經》只是記載歷史傳說。我對傳教士也是半信半疑，她叫我去求問天父。她對我說：「你把心裡話跟天父說，天父會幫助你。」她說了一句釘在我心裡的話：「你跟爸媽平常說什麼，就說什麼。跟平常一樣，只要把心裡話說出來就可以了。」我為了自己做了兩次禱告，我知道天父真的會回答我的禱告。從此我的信心增強，也喜歡聽傳教士講福音知識，也經常做禱告求問天父，但讓我驚訝是聽到小聲音，能看到書中記載的異象。

二零一一年九月二十七日我接受洗禮，我知道受洗後人會在神的幫助下被改變。

我見證《摩爾門經》是神的話語，它不但是可以聽得見，也是可以看得見的經書。

我見證我們的教會是活著的教會。

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but I will never forget the missionary that brought me the gospel. It was her that helped me to understand Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. At the start I thought the Bible and the Book of Mormon were just a record of historical legends. I was also on the fence about what the missionaries taught - believing half and doubting half
of what they taught. She asked me to ask Heavenly Father. She said to me, "You take the words in your heart and say them to Heavenly Father. He will help you." She then said a sentence that is engraved in my heart, "Just say what you normally say with your mother and father. Like you usually do, saying what is in your heart is enough." I prayed for myself twice. I knew that Heavenly Father really would answer my prayer. Since that time, my faith has strengthened and I like the missionaries sharing gospel knowledge with me. I frequently pray and ask things of Heavenly Father, but what surprised me is that I heard the still small voice, to be able to see the visions recorded in the book.

On September 27th, 2011 I was baptized. I know that after people are baptized, with God's help they will change.

I testify that the Book of Mormon is the word of God & we can listen and read the scriptures.

I testify that our church is the living church.

鄭聰穎姊妹 Sister Cong Ying Zheng

二零一三年八月到美國的兩個星期後，我在唐人街的十字路口遇見了傳教士馬姊妹、董姊妹與李姊妹。遇見她們的那天很神奇，那天我陪著媽媽在唐人街辦事，來回經過十字路口三次（遇見傳教士的十字路口），頭兩次經過的時候我沒遇見傳教士，第三次經過十字路口的時候，馬姊妹遞上來一張紙片說：「你想了解耶穌基督的福音嗎？」馬姊妹是個白種人，在中國一個白種人會講中文很正常，在美國一個白種人會講中文就引起我的好奇了，我停步接過紙片，並留了我的電話號碼給傳教士。

第二天傳教士姊妹就打電話聯繫我了，我們約定第三天見面的時間。

當傳教士姊妹問我是否願意受洗成為教會成員時，我問她們受洗的方式，她們告訴我是「浸沒受洗」。《聖經》馬太福音第三章16節「耶穌受洗，隨即從水裡上來。」雖然沒明確的用文字記載是用浸沒的方式受洗的，但「隨即從水裡上來」就已經說明受洗必須整個人到水裡去，而不是像其他教會那樣，隨便拿個臉盤，讓牧師在信徒頭上滴水就是受洗，浸沒受洗才是完美的受洗方式，才能從頭到腳都洗淨身上的罪與惡。

其他的教會很少提及聖靈，但是在聖經上多處明確記載了聖靈的存在，例如馬太福音第四章第1節，「當時耶穌被聖靈引到曠野，受魔鬼的試探」，羅馬書第八章第16節「聖靈與我們的心同証我是神的兒女。」如果沒有天父的安排，沒有聖靈的帶領，我就不會遇上傳教士姊妹，就沒有機會見識到耶穌基督的另一部約書──《摩爾門經》。當我第一次看見《摩爾門經》的時候，眼前一亮，很驚訝，很意外，很激動，我居然有機會見識到耶穌基督的另一部約書，這是天父給我最大的祝福，因為《摩爾門經》的內容貼切易懂，書上的內容生活中都能用上，雖然我還沒看完《摩爾門經》，但是我已經從中得到太多的祝福了，我無法用詞語或言語來表達《摩爾門經》的神奇。

能成為後期聖徒，是我的榮幸，感謝天父安排我加入教會，《聖經》原文中「教會」一詞的意思就是「被召出來的一群」。教會不是建築物或某些組織，乃是從罪和世界中被召出來成為「基督身體」的信徒團契，基督是教會的元首，教會是基督的身體。《聖經》歌羅西書第一章第18節，「他也是教會全體之首，他是元始，是從死裡首先復生的，使他可以在凡事上居首。」《聖經》以弗所書第一章23節，「教會是他的身體，是那充滿萬有者所充滿的。」兄弟姊妹們，教會需要你，你也需要教會，就像家人需要你，你需要家人一樣，我們要彼此勉勵，互相扶持，一起學習福音，一起認知福音，這樣信徒的靈命才能長進，靈性才能得到鞏固。

《聖經》是良師，《摩爾門經》是益友；《聖經》是生活的嚮導，《摩爾門經》是生活的指南針。我是後期聖徒，我以此為我今生最大的榮耀。

I came to the USA in August 2013. Two weeks later, I met Sister MacKay, Sister Dong and Sister Lee. That was a miraculous day. I was with my mother in Chinatown running errands and I walked passed the same crossroad three times (The same crossroad that I met the Missionaries). The first two times I passed that crossroad, I didn't see the Missionaries but the third time, Sister MacKay handed me a pass along card and asked "Do you want to learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ?" Sister MacKay is an American and it is very common for an American to speak Mandarin in China. But an American who speaks Mandarin in America caught my attention. I stopped, took the pass along card and left my number with the Missionaries.

The next day, the Sister Missionaries gave me a call and we set up a time to meet the following day.

When the Sister Missionaries asked me if I wanted to be baptized into their church, I asked them how baptism was being done. They told me it was by immersion. In the Bible, Matthew 3:16 it states "Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water". Even though it wasn't stated exactly that baptism was by immersion, but "went up straight way out of the water" shows that baptism is by having the
whole body in the water. It is not like the other churches who would just take a basin and the pastors would drip some water on the heads of the saints. Baptism by immersion is the perfect way as it washes all of our sins from head to toe.

Other churches rarely mention about the Holy Ghost. But in the Bible, it is stated clearly that the Holy Ghost exists. For example, Matthew 4:1 states "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil". Romans 8:16 also states "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God". If Heavenly Father did not prepare a way for me and without the guidance of the Holy Ghost, I wouldn't have met the Sister Missionaries or know about the Book of Mormon which is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The moment I saw the Book of Mormon, my eyes were wide opened and I was
very surprised. I actually had the opportunity to read another book of Jesus Christ. This is the greatest blessing that Heavenly Father has given me, because the contents in the Book of Mormon allows me to
relate it to my life. Even though I have not yet finished reading the Book of Mormon, but I have already received a lot of blessings. No words can describe the miracles that the Book of Mormon brings.

It is my honor to become a Latter-Day Saints. I am grateful that Heavenly Father prepared the way for me to join the church. Church in the Bible means "a chosen people". Church is not a building or some kind of organization, rather it is being chosen from sin and the world to become "Christ's body". Christ is the head of the church and the church is Christ's body. In Colossians 1:18 it states "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence". Ephesians 1:23 also states "Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all". Brothers and sisters, the
church needs you, you need the church too, just like your family needs you and you need your family. We need to encourage and support each other and learn the gospel knowledge together. This way, Saints can grow and we will be strengthen spiritually.

The Bible is a good teacher, the Book of Mormon is a good friend. The Bible is our life guide, the Book of Mormon is our life compass. I am a Latter-Day Saint and it is my biggest honor.

徐佩芬姊妹 Sister Pei Fun Hsu

以下是徐佩芬姊妹的故事。

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，母親看到兩個外國人，他們問道：「可否打擾五分鐘？」母親連忙說：「好。好啊！」立刻打開鐵閘，讓他們進來。我和妹妹被吩咐要招呼他們。接下來傳教士便開始教導福音，每週都來我家。到了要接受洗禮的時候，母親不允許兩個女兒受洗，她只許妹妹洗禮，而我不可以。因為她說她只有兩個女兒，如果我倆都入教，以前去世後，沒有人會去拜她。即使傳教士不斷勸我母親，她仍沒有改變心意，所以傳教士並決定先幫我的妹妹洗禮。

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，我的母親准許我洗禮。我的洗禮是在九龍塘教堂，現在聖殿的位置。那時香港禮拜天有兩場聚會，一個早上，一個晚上。我的媽媽只肯讓我煮飯、洗完碗碟後，參加晚上的聚會。

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。大家都叫我大姊姊，或是叫我「大傅」，我妹妹「小傅」，因為我們都姓傅。

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。我知道這個教會是真實的。我們教會非常正派。我相信我們有神揀選的先知來帶領我們。

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.

陳暮燕姊妹 Sister Mo Yin Chin

我是陳暮燕姊妹。已經加入教會很久了。當我還在香港讀書的時候，老師問我有沒有時間可以去教會。既然是老師的邀請，我便接受了。我和親如姊妹的好朋友──雷姊妹決定一起去。現在她更成了我的姻親。

那時候我去的教堂在哥和老街，一間別墅式的大宅裡。我在那裡參加教會聚會。那時起，便有傳教士來我家教導課程。那些西方來的傳教士，每週來我家，用廣東話教導，直至要接受洗禮。我的父母並不贊成我去相信耶穌，他們對我說：「如果你信教，沒有人會娶你。」我說：「哪會？除非你是一個很壞的女生，不然別人不會討厭。」所以，我暪著父母，跟我朋友堅持接受洗禮。一個月後，我才跟母親坦承。母親問我為什麼不聽話。我告訴她，我已受洗。確實我得到了見證，我覺得天父會幫助我，祈禱會得到祝福。

我在一九五七年受洗，到一九五九年十二月結婚，去了美國。來到美國後，我都沒法接觸教會。直到退休後，有一次我跟妹妹去加州旅遊。那次我們去了摩爾門教的聖殿廣場。我記得，我也是摩爾門教的，以前教會的名字是「末世聖徒教會」。在聖殿廣場，傳教士帶我們參觀所有的地點。聖殿真的很美，很宏偉。我很開心。傳教士問我有什麼要求，我寫下，我要一本摩爾門經。相信耶穌基督的教會有很多種，但是她們沒有摩爾門經。

很快便有傳教士打電話給我，留言說要探訪我，給我摩爾門經，但是那時我還未到家。之後他們繼續跟我聯絡，那時一個很熱心的陳長老，告訴我唐人街現在有一個教會分會。自此，我每個禮拜到教會聚會。

我覺得，我們這個教會是真實的。上帝有祝福我。如果我們有任何要求，衪都會眷顧我們。例如，當我生病，或是要做手術，本來醫生告訴我要留院多天，因為是一個大手術，但是我一天後便出院了，因為我得到祝福。以上是我的見證，奉主耶穌基督的名，阿們。

I am Sister Chin Mo Yin. I joined the church many years ago. When I was still in Hong Kong, my teacher asked me if I had time to go to church. Since it was my teacher's invitation, I accepted it. My close friend and I decided to go together and check it out. She has become my relative now.

At that time, the chapel that I went to was on Cornwall Street in a big house and that was where I attended church meetings. From then on, Missionaries came to my home and taught me the gospel. Every week, the American Missionaries would come to my house and using Cantonese to teach me until the time for me to be baptized. My parents were not in favor of me believing in Jesus. They told me: "If you have a religion, no one will marry you." I said: "No, unless you are a really bad girl otherwise no one will dislike you." So, I went with my friend and got baptized without telling my parents. Only after a month did I tell my mother about it. My mother asked why I did not listen to her. I told her that I had already been baptized and received a  testimony that Heavenly Father will help me and that prayers bring blessings. I was baptized in 1957 and was married in December 1959 and went to the USA. After coming to the USA, I was not able to find the church. When I retired, I went with my sister to California for vacation and we went to the Mormon Temple Visitor Center. I then remembered that I was also from the Mormon church. At the Visitor Center, Missionaries brought us around to the various places. The Temple was really beautiful and magnificent. I was very happy. The Missionaries asked me if I had any request. I wrote down saying that I needed a copy of the Book of Mormon. There are many different Christian churches and they all do not have the Book of Mormon.

The Missionaries contacted me very quickly and even left a voice mail wanting to come visit me and to give me the Book of Mormon, but at that time I was not home yet. They continued to contact me and Elder Chen was very enthusiastic and told me that Chinatown has a Branch. From then on, I attended church every week.

I know that this church is true. God has blessed me. If we have any problems, he will protect us. For example, when I was sick and needed a surgery, the doctor told me initially that I needed to stay in the hospital for a couple of days as it was a major surgery. But after a day, I could go home. That was because I received a Priesthood Blessing. This is my testimony. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
