I get so nervous especially when there are lots of investigators there on a fast sunday! and note that wearing and displaying the testimony glove during giving your testimony is probably not appropriate either :) I remember when someone gave a Jouni-mony for Dad and how awesome he was!Ellen Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639197223759499577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161505006673593815.post-52982454600051894652011-12-13T16:58:12.960+10:302011-12-13T16:58:12.960+10:30Awesome post! Could not agree more! Another pet ...Awesome post! Could not agree more! Another pet peeve of mine is when people share their testimony or speak for long periods of time in other languages. This is more of a personal thing but I will point out that in the new testament it says that If we don't understand what is being taught or said, it profiteth us nothing. Of course, if there are family members or ward members in attendance who do understand, it's all good :) I think I remember this being mentioned in conference once, but as I can't find it on lds.org, you can't quote me on that.Tiffany Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295215293937976210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161505006673593815.post-23603149581531354242011-12-12T13:08:19.063+10:302011-12-12T13:08:19.063+10:30I love your comments!
MikeC, you just reminded me ...I love your comments!<br />MikeC, you just reminded me of a missionary (many years ago now) who sang "Strumming my pain with his fingers", with some words changed to reference the Saviour.

But I'm sure you are either...Great Post Freja. But I'm sure you are either preaching to the "converted" or to "deaf ears." People will always ignore the council to be "brief," even if mentioned by the bishopric only moments before. One gem you missed in your "don'ts"... we recently had a full-time missionary SING his testimony in our Fast and Testimony meeting. Yes, some of these things do make one feel uncomfortable.MikeChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261052966212407947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161505006673593815.post-55319057044383205432011-12-12T12:37:08.094+10:302011-12-12T12:37:08.094+10:30This is so important.

In no way does that help me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161488634986956905noreply@blogger.com
