A. W. Lundstrom, having been excommunicated from the Church in 1901 by the High Council of the Bannock Stake after testifying against the Church in the Senator Smoot case, experienced a spiritual awakening. He realized his mind had been darkened by sin, leading him to villify the Church. He confessed his error, asked for forgiveness, and expressed a desire to be reinstated.
In Their Own Words
“I do confess that sin was the cause of the darkness of my soul. I testify now that God in His infinite mercy has showed me the way to go. I can now see the error of my sayings and doings, and I ask forgiveness from the Church for the injustice which I have caused. ... I thank God from the bottom of my heart and soul that He has opened my eyes and my understanding to see that He has His authorized Church with His priesthood on the earth, and that no man can discriminate against the principles without being brought to answer, or take the consequences. — Millennial Star 76:21”
