 Act II
I Have It Why Not Share It

Situation: White screen Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration.

Edward on piano playing That We May Know. YW preparing to sing.
Spotlight in focus.

Narrator enters.

Taong 1844. Nariyan ang patotoo ng isang propeta, na ang pangalan ay Joseph, na tinatakan ng kanyang dugo ang patotoo
ng kanyang Panginoon at ang Aklat ni Mormon. Si Joseph Smith, ang aPropeta at bTagakita ng Panginoon, ay nakagawa nang
higit pa, maliban lamang kay Jesus, para sa kaligtasan ng mga tao sa daigdig na ito, kaysa sa sinumang tao na kailanman ay
nabuhay rito. Sa maikling panahon ng dalawampung taon, kanyang inilabas ang Aklat ni Mormon, na kanyang isinalin sa
pamamagitan ng kaloob at kapangyarihan ng Diyos…ipinadala ang ckabuuan ng walang hanggang ebanghelyo, na nilalaman
nito, sa apat na sulok ng mundo…Siya ay nabuhay na dakila, at siya ay namatay na dakila sa paningin ng Diyos at ng kanyang
mga tao. Ang kanyang walang salang dugo ay isang saksi sa katotohanan ng walang hanggang ebanghelyo na ang lahat ng
mundo na hindi maaaring taluwalagin”
Ang Aklat Ni Mormon Isa Pang Tipan Ni Jesukristo. Ang kahanga-hangang gawain at mga himala nito ay isang walang
hanggang yaman ng pananampalataya, ng pag-asa, ng sakripisyo at pamana ng mga pamilya at sa ating bigkis ng
pagkakaibigan at masidhing pamumuno. Ang taong 1820, ang aming pangunahing panlalik na yugto sa relihiyon, sa
konsepto ng komunikasyon sa Diyos, si Joseph Smith ay nanalangin at nagtanong sa Diyos, sa turo ni Santiago ng Bagong
Tipan. Sa papamagitan ng banal na paghahayag, isang sinaunang banal na kasulatan ang ibinigay upang maisaling-wika, sa
pamamagitan ng kaloob at kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritu, para sa ating kabutihan, patutunguhan, paninibago ng
pananampalataya, pagkatuto ng totoong doktrina at higit sa lahat, muling maramdaman kung papaano tayo tunay na
minamahal ng ating Ama sa Langit.

(Year 1844. There is the testimony of a prophet, whose name was Joseph, who sealed with his blood the testimony of his
Lord and of the Book of Mormon. Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the
salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it. In the short space of twenty years, he has brought
forth the Book of Mormon, which he translated by the gift and power of God, has sent the fullness of the everlasting gospel,
which it contained, to the four quarters of the earth…He lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people.
His innocent blood … is a witness to the truth of the everlasting gospel that all the world cannot impeach”
The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The marvelous work and its wonders is a never ending treasure of
faith, of hope, of sacrifices and of legacies of families and our circle of friendships and profound leaderships. The year 1820,
our main turning point in religion, in the concept of communication with God, Joseph Smith prayed and asked of God, as
James of the New testament directed, thru divine revelation, ancient scripture was given for translation with the power and
gift of the Holy Ghost, for our benefit, for our direction, for our faith to be renewed, to learn of true doctrine and to feel
how our Heavenly Father truly loves us all.)

Ang Aklat ni Mormon ay isang aklat ng kasaysayan. Binabahagi nito ang buhay ng mga taong nanirahan sa Lumang Amerika.
Itong nakamamanghang aklat ay nagbabahagi ng mga turo ng mga propeta, mabubuting tao at ni JesuKristo.
(The Book of Mormon is a book of history. It tells of people who lived in the Ancient America. This wonderful book shares
the many teachings of prophets, of good people and of Jesus Christ.)
Primary kids sing Book of Mormon Stories…then exit at the side…

Primary kid tells the story of King Benjamin. White screen shows slides of King Benjamin. Piano playing BOM stories pp.
Pangarap kong maging prinsesa. (pause) Ngunit sa ngayon, ikukwento ko muna ang tungkol sa isang hari sa Aklat ni
Mormon. Siya si Haring Benjamin. Isa siyang matuwid na hari at naglilingkod ng may kapayapaan sa buong kaharian.
Tinuruan niya ang kanyang mga tao ukol sa kahalagahn ng mga pamilya, sa pagtatrabaho ng husto, sa pagsunod sa mga
kautusan ng Diyos. Ibinahagi din nya ang kwento ni JesuKristo at kung gaano Niya tayo kamahal. Tinuruan nya silang
manatiling mapagkumbaba at laging manalangin. Tinuruan niya ang mga magulang na maging mabuting halimbawa sa lahat
ng kanilang mga anak at ang mga anak na maging masunurin sa mga magulang. Isa siyang mabuting hari.
(I always dream of becoming a princess. But let me tell you about a king in the Book of Mormon. He’s name is King
Benjamin. He was a righteous king and served with peace in all the land. He taught his people the importance of families, of
working hard, and of obeying God’s commandments. He also shared the story of Jesus Christ and how He loves us all. He
taught his people to be humble always and to pray always. He taught the parents to be good examples to all their children
and the children to be obedient to their parents. He is such a good king.)
EXIT
Piano play BOM stories Forte one verse.
YSA enters, tells the story of Alma the Younger. White screen shows slides of Alma. Piano still playing BOM stories pp.
Kids remain at backstage.

Ang kwento ni Alma ay isa sa aking mga paborito. Ang kanyang kwento ang nagbigay inspirasyon at naghikayat na
paghusayan ko ang aking pagpipilian at sa aking mga dapat unahin. Ganito kasi, ang ama ni Alma ang lider ng simbahan ng
mga panahong yaon subalit hindi sya naniniwala sa mga itinuturo nito. Siya ay naging isang masamang tao. Kasama ang
kanyang mga kaibigan, nilabanan nila ang simbahan at hinikayat nila ang marami na talikuran ang simbahan at maging
masama. Pinagpatuloy nya ito ngunit kailan man ay di sumuko ang kanyang ama. Isang araw, habang si Alma at ang kanyang
mga kaibigan ay naglalakad, isang anghel ang nagpakita sa kanila at sinabihang tumigil na sa kanilang masasamang gawain.
Nangabuwal sila at si Alma ay ilang araw ding di makagalaw at makapagsalita. Nang mapagtanto na ni Alam ang kanyang
kamalian, muli syang nakagalaw at nakapagsalita. Naging mabuting tao si Alma sama ng kanyang mga kaibigan. Alam nyo
bang sila ang naging pinakamagagaling na mga misyonero ng kanilang panahon at napalakas ang simbahan sa maraming
paraan.
(The story of Alma the Younger is one that I particularly like. His story inspired me and encouraged me to do better in my
choices and in my priorities. You see, Alma’s father was the leader of the church that time but he did not believe the
teachings of his father. He became a wicked man. With his friends, they fought against and persuaded many people to leave
the church. He went on destroying the church but his father never gave up. One day while Alma and his friends were
walking, an angel appeared to them and told them to stop doing evil. Alma fell down and could not move. When he and his
friends realized their wrongdoings, he was able to speak and move again. They became good people. They actually became
the best missionaries of their time and strengthened the church in many ways.)
Kids sing BOM stories again. EXIT.

EQ enters, tells the story of Jesus Christ’s ministry in the Americas. White screen ready for the movie clip.

Ang pinakatampok na pangyayari ng Aklat ni Mormon ay ang ministeryo ni JesuKristo sa Estados Unidos. Sa nakaraang ilang
taon, nalaman ng mga tao ang kanyang kapanganakan nang nung isang gabi, isang bagong bituin ang lumitaw. Nalaman din
nila ang Kanyang pagkamatay. Isang mabangis na bagyo ang dumating, niyanig ang lupa ng kulog, nangasira nag mga
siyudad, at tatlong araw ng kadiliman ang bumalot sa kanila. Pagkatapos ng kadiliman, nung sila ay nangugusap sa isat-isa at
nagtatrabaho, narinig nila ang isang tinig na ipinakikilala si JesuKristo habang bumababa sa langit. Sinambit niya ang
Kanyang mga pangako. Pinagaling Niya ang mga tao. Pinagkaloob Niya ang pagkasaserdote. Tinuruan Niya ang mga tao ng
pananampalataya, pag-asa at pag-ibig, na palagiang magsisi at maging mapagpatawad, na magsikap na magpakabuti, na
laging manalangin at sundin ang payo ng Banal na Espiritu. At ang pinakamahalaga, itinuro Niya na Siya ang bugtong na
Anak ng Diyos at namatay Siya para tubisin tayo sa ating mga kasalanan. Ang mga tao ay nagkaroon ng kapayapaan sa
3
napakahabang panahon. Ang talaang ito ay nagtuturo sa atin na si JesuKristo ang ating Tagapagligtas at nais Niiya na tayo
ay makabalik sa ating Ama sa Langit sa pamamagitan ng pamumuhay ng mapagkumbaba at mapayapa.
(The crowing event of the Book of Mormon is the ministry of Jesus Christ in the Americas. Years before, the people knew of
His birth when a new star shone was born upon them one night. They also knew of His death. A fierce storm came, thunder
shook the earth, cities were destroyed and three days of darkness clouded them. After the darkness, while they were about
talking and working, they heard a voice from heaven introducing Jesus Christ while descending from heaven. He told them
of his promises. He healed the people. He bestowed the priesthood. He taught the people to have faith, hope and love, to
always repent and be forgiving, to strive to be better, to always pray and follow the guidance of the Holy Ghost. Most
importantly, he taught them that He is the Son of God and that He died for our sins. The people had peace for a very long
time. This account teaches us Jesus Christ is truly our Savior and He wants us to return to our Heavenly father by living
humbly and peacefully.)

Bago ni Moroni, ang huling propeta sa Aklat ni Mormon, nailibing ang mga laminang ginto, isinulat niya ang isang taos-
pusong pangako sa lahat ng babasa sa aklat na ito. Isinulat din niya ang hamon ng ating Ama sa Langit sa ating
pananampalataya.
