Rose May Hun's Conversion and Testimony

“I was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, in 1884, and was brought up in a nonconformist church. I was always a seeker after truth, and often wondered why there were so many different churches, all claiming to be right. In the year 1906, I met Elders Rees and Rynearson, who were laboring in the Bradford branch. They explained the gospel to me, but I could not understand it at first. I felt a great unrest in my soul, and I knew that there was something I had not found. I prayed earnestly that my Father in heaven would grant unto me wisdom and knowledge that I might understand the things pertaining to His kingdom. I began to investigate the gospel with a prayerful heart, and with sincere prayers for the Divine Spirit, for we have been told that the things of God are understood only by the Spirit of God. I attended the cottage meetings that were held in the neighborhood of my home, and never in all my life before did I enjoy such a good spirit as I did at those meetings. I realized with every fibre of my being that it is indeed the true work of the Lord in which the saints are engaged, and I resolved with my whole heart to become one with them, even though it cost me my life; for let me say right here, that my people were very bitter and strictly forbade me attending the meetings. I had to sacrifice my home, which I did on November 17th, 1907, for I felt that I must obey the promptings of the Spirit, and I knew that the Lord would provide for me. I was baptized into the Church on December 14th, 1907, and found to my soul's satisfaction that "Mormonism" is what it claims to be, the pure gospel of Christ. I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for the light and knowledge I have received, and I pray that I may be faithful to the end.”
