I'm trying something a little different. Here's a testimony as if written by Philip the Apostle:
I always thought it was kind of magical the way that a lump of dough would more than double in size just with the addition of a little leaven. Little did I know that I had scarcely scratched the surface of the wonders that bread hid in store. Two moments in particular stick in my mind. On a certain day a crowd of five thousand had come to listen to my Master. Jesus turned to me and asked how we could feed so many. With all of our money together I couldn’t see how we could buy enough bread to give everyone more than a few crumbs. But Jesus gathered up what few loaves we had between us and said a prayer of thanks over them. Somehow, He knew that five loaves would be enough. And He broke that bread and blessed it and broke it again and kept breaking until every single person had eaten their fill and we still ended up with more than we started. The second experience with bread was, if anything, even more miraculous. During the Last Supper, Jesus again broke bread and blessed it and gave it to us in remembrance of His body that was about to be broken for our sake. I will never forget the feelings I had at the very first Sacrament. I partook of the Bread of Life and as He promised, I was filled, not just in my belly but in my soul. Jesus Christ has the words of eternal life. His gospel is the leaven that can take our small lump of dough and grow it to twice its size. Through His atonement, we can offer up our scant and meager selves and He can multiply our offerings until we can bless the lives of thousands. A loaf of bread, even a miraculously multiplied loaf of bread, may feed us for a day, but the Bread of Life will fill us for all eternity. I testify that as we come unto Christ and obey His commandments, we will never hunger or thirst again. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
