The History of
the Saints in Trinidad & Tobago Book One
THE MISSIONARIES
If you are like
the average 'Joe', then what you don't have as actual first hand knowledge
about anything in particular will be doubted and avoided by you. It's
true like a contagious virus - you don't want it around as it will be
harmful to your already satisfied self. You criticize what the majority
also ridicules and therefore end up the same as then, not knowing the
truth.
The
Gospel can set you free, but it can only be found by those willing
to pay the price, which is simple desire to know followed by action
to make it happen. It would be foolish to go to a bakery to purchase
a cricket bat instead of a reliable sports store, just as it would be
to go searching somewhere else for information about The Church Of
Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints instead of the source, the full-time
missionaries, members and its literature.
If
great men like Christopher Columbus had concentrated on the rumors
and arguments against his theory of the world being round, instead of
making the discovery, then what would have happened ? Find out fearlessly
about the Church or as we are called, the Mormons(4),
for yourself. Two missionaries, both Elders of the Church, will visit
with you and your family at a time convenient to you. They will share
with you a book of scripture called the Book Of Mormon, Another
Testament of Jesus Christ. This sacred book covers a time period
of more than a thousand years about the ancient American Indians and
the prophets of Christ who taught His gospel among them, the highlight
of this book being Jesus Christ's visit to these people after His resurrection
see (3 Nephi 11). The missionaries can answer any questions you
may have.
4. Although this name seems to be attached to the fact
we use the Book of MORMON - it should be understood that we refer to
ourselves as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
and not members of the 'Mormon Church' or 'Latter-Day Saints Church'.
