Testimony Meeting

3/4/12
Today was fast and testimony meeting at the branch. The members came well prepared, as many of them gave a talk, which included written notes and scripture references. The testimonies that touched my heart were those by the members who had helped with the art show. There were three rooms of pictures: Book of Mormon, The Restoration and Jesus the Christ. A members was in each room and there was a script to go with the pictures. The script for the Book of Mormon room took 22 minutes by itself; but one non-member who came, spent 1 1/2 hours in the room with the member, asking questions. Anyway, when she bore her testimony, it was about how glad she was that the branch had put this art show on, and what a sweet experince she had testifying of the truths of these great stories/pictures and of the doctrine. The others who had served the two days, bore the same testimony. Only four non-members came, but I think the greatest good came to those who served, which is often the case in the church. Thank heavens for a lay-ministry! I was so glad that the missionaries got to hear those testimonies so that they could feel like their time spent was productive.
