The Atonement at Work
Ensign ^ | March 2008 | Name Withheld

Posted on 05/10/2008 11:06:06 AM PDT by Saundra Duffy

“The Atonement at Work,” Ensign, Mar 2008, 39–41

I knew the Lord had a plan for my son, but when he chose a path I wished he hadn’t, I wasn’t sure how he was going to come back.

I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1992 in the Netherlands. However, my husband didn’t join and wouldn’t allow our children, Alex and Petra, to be baptized (names have been changed). Even still, the three of us attended church and had regular family home evenings. . . .

Thanks for the CTR. There’s nothing more hurtful for a Mom as when a kid goes astray; and there’s nothing more wonderful for a Mom as a kid deciding to do what is right. “Do what is right, let the consequence follow.”

Very anonymous to be very sincere.

I guess the source is LDS friendly.

Here are some Christian ones.

I am OK.
Just studying when I thought I'd check in to FR.
“Why I left Mormonism” is interesting and enlightening.

It is an interesting read.

I learn humilty by reading it - because I see how people have overcome so much family and peer pressure to endure for the Lord.

endure for the Lord

What a beautiful phrase: “endure for the Lord”.

It is for the Kingdom we work, even if this season is painful, it is always for the Kingdom and His Glory.

**This is a sincere testimony of a Mom.**

I'm sure a lot of Muslims have sincere testimonies. Does that make them right?
