A Different Testimony

I love bearing my testimony of Christ, the Chuch, the prophets, and the Book of Mormon. Aside from my "regular" testimony, I realized two things as a missionary that while not as directly spiritual are nonetheless evidence that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church of God:

1. There is almost unbelievable opposition to the Church. That might not seem to indicate that the Church is good and true, but consider the opposition's viewpoint. Against whom does Satan fight? Against whom will he inspire others to fight?

2. The restored Gospel is being preached by immature 19- and 20-year-olds, and the Church is actually growing! Really, missionaries are almost kids. I know because I was one! Yeah, some are pretty mature (I thought I was, for my age), but how mature and wise can a person be at 20 years old? By all rights, such young missionaries should have crippled the Church years ago. Instead, those with "ears to hear" are baptized by the thousands.

Last thoughts for now:
These two ideas are not vital to my testimony, but they strengthen it at least to some degree. However, nothing beats the witness of the Holy Ghost.
