New converts from Haiti shared their testimony with me in French.
I put it into Google Translator and this is the best I can do..
Dear Sir, President Monson, July 28, 2009
Today the words, “Today I want to mention what has sent me to write to you. Actually, I must say frankly that you have blinded me to my most profound being, and to be more precise ``worry the future is as bright as your faith,” and if today I am becoming a new man, it's by the grace of God which inspires you the most consoling words of this life. In short, you know that in my country I don’t get along too badly, because I am a journalist, accountant, interviewer, and to be more precise I am part of the first class people. Independently, one day I tell myself I can not see what the outside world can offer me in terms especially economically in my country because I took more time to succeed than to give my soul a house, and I know very well that life is too short and our world is too small. I decided to go in France while emptying my bank book, but unfortunately my request is not accredited (approved) because it has me categorically denied a visa. In spite of this sadness, I have not useless arms and I visited the consul Chilean and I have been able to get the visa. Finally, I was ready to confront my destiny while I leave my family behind. Along with an associate, we are both embarking on this journey to a totally unknown destination. because we have no one to receive us and we met one of our own, we were abandoned at a `hotel’ for two days to play and we faced a decision of whether it is to go in the north or south . During these moments we knew the most intense cold of our lives because we slept on a flat sponge, unemployed, and poorly nourished. Independently the most moving part of this story that I found in the church, a better life physically speaking and I have been able to meet the savior of the world because I am baptized, received the Holy Spirit, the priesthood of Aaron. But the truth I did not like the Mormons before I was one of them, but one evening I was in the process of attending a prayer meeting with the owner of the house and this is where I have seen two U.S. missionaries at the door ``elder Karchner, elder Le Baron. (Elder Jorgensen) `` and that from this day I have taken time to listen to them and they invited us to come to church and they continued to know studying with us. Soon, that owner of the house we saw suspicious of us being with the missionaries. He told us firmly that Joseph smith is not a prophet of God, and that this is `the religion of hell we should have nothing to do with them, pay much attention. In May I had the courage to say frankly that the brothers (missionaries) `Mormon” never say that Joseph smith is equal to God but under God. and then this is when our persecution began. We were over the kitchen for us and we had a meager part of bread and juice for two weeks and two days, and we address the more issue. one night we were not able to resist and we make a decision of cooking in the `interior of the room and the smoke was able to disturb the neighbor next door, and after about thirty-five minutes the police invaded us, but fortunately for us they have returned al `interior of the room and they tell us kindly not to make cooking but the took the piece out of my hand before I could explain the basis for this whole event. More the truth after this tragic scene we were immersed in perfect, intense desolation, namely “Let’s go back to our homeland and abandon all of this. However, after we have read your title “take courage,” I deeply believe that the man is `not always reaches its goals but goals of man makes him what he is and I will fight till what I’ve managed to cross, and I climb this mountain` or with the help of my God. Moreover, today I think my life is more beautiful because it is my mission so as to enlighten others to return to the glory of the Heavenly Father alma 32:22 yes I put my hand in that of God, I know more about this now.
Mr. President Monson, with all due respect I am right, I leave you with this testimony while living in Achanta/Chile. I hope just a day will come when I`m able sit in front of you to receive the priesthood mechiisedek.
God bless you and your family
