Reading in the March Improvement Era, I was most impressed with what President Joseph Fielding Smith had to say on his first Editor’s Page concerning testimony. Note this: “It is my firm conviction that every member of this Church should be able to bear witness and declare by words of soberness that these things are true, that the Book of Mormon is true, that the destiny of this latter-day work is true, and that, according to the revelations, it must and will be fulfilled.”
And for those who have not such a witness, he outlines how to obtain it. I am grateful that I have such a knowledge and am commissioned to declare it to the world.
Today is Mother’s Day. Significant in today’s meetings was the organization of the MIA, with Edmilson and Inez called to serve as superintendent and president. Alexandre will serve as secretary. Elder Blackham spoke in sacrament meeting. Word came of a district conference May 24 in Recife with President Johnson attending. That means there will be a zone conference and hopefully a visit by the President here in Maceió. Following sacrament meeting Elder Camargo held an orientation meeting with the new MIA board. He has much MIA experience. While waiting, we were working up a musical number.
