On Saturday we were able to witness the baptism of the two newest converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in our little Chinese speaking branch. It is growing and there seems to be a wonderful Spirit among the members. We are blessed to know these wonderful people and to be a part of what is happening. It is not hard to see the hand of the Lord in this work. It seems many are being directed to this land where they can learn of the Restored Gospel and how it can bless them and their people. We know that the true gospel of Jesus Christ was restored in our day to bless the lives of all people everywhere. We can see, at least in part, the fulfillment of the prophecy as stated in the Doctrine and Covenants 90:11
"For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fullness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Today, Sunday, we were able to be in attendance when these two outstanding students at USU were confirmed members of the Church and given the Gift of the Holy Ghost . The magnitude of this blessing is beyond expression. We are planning on going to the Temple to do baptisms for the dead as a Branch on September 17. Everyone is looking forward to performing these sacred ordinances for deceased relatives. We are so grateful to be a small part of this great work.
We also had our first English class for Chinese speaking people this past Wednesday evening. We had some new students and some great friends show up and we had a good time. We are expecting more to come in the coming weeks. Attached is a picture of the happy new members of our Branch.
