The Lion's Church

This past week, we had eleven of our investigators come to church! It was great. We had prayed and fasted for more investigators to comet to church and progress, and this week it happened. Yet, we still were a little disappointed because two of our progressing families failed to make it to church. But then I realized we had eleven others at church feeling the Spirit, so all was well again. But I was sad for the people that missed. So church was really great yesterday. This week we had a very interesting experience. One of our investigators invited us to go to her church service with her on Thursday. We jumped at the chance. Her church was called Lion of Judah, and the pastors are twins from Ghana. And the whole experience was interesting, to say the least. First interesting thing, they had microphones, yet they met in a small little room, like a conference room in a building. Not very big, no need at all for microphones, and the pastor or prophet or whatever they claim to be yell into it! I just really felt there was no need for that! Also, they sing and dance. And when it is time to pray, they all pray at the same time! And the pastor decides when they finish their prayers, but listening to the pastor and the people next to me, they don’t say anything of substance, and they are all praying at the same time. I am sure they confused God, I was certainly confused anyway. Also this guy, one of the twins, was prophesying that the people who were there would not die until it was their time, until God decided it was their time to go .. I was thinking, wow what a prophecy. I could have told them that. Haha….it was just all so interesting. Everything about it. I did my very best to control my laughter. One thing I know for sure is that the Spirit of God was not there. They were feeling something, but it was not the Spirit. It was the loud speakers, but definitely not the Spirit. His sermon was confusing. To this day, I don’t have any idea what he was trying to say. Going to the true Church yesterday, made me so grateful to have the truth. I learned something at church that will stick with me. Going to the church, really made me realize who true the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is! And I am more grateful than ever to be a member. And it made me want to go out and continue to share this message with others, so they will no longer be confused. Be grateful to be a member of Christ’s church. Be grateful you are not confused. I certainly am.
