All About Mormons

I’ve been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints since birth, but I haven’t always had a surety of its truthfulness. About 3 years ago, I began to feel separated from those whom I associated with, feeling that there was something about me that set me apart. Little did I know, it was the way I was raised, and the doctrine that I was taught from a very young age. I was also with a girl who wasn’t a member of my church, and was put in the position of having to answer many questions concerning my beliefs. I didn’t know whether or not to believe all of the things I was taught, but I knew that the only way to receive a sure answer was to go to the source of all answers… in prayer before my Father in heaven. I set out to read the Book of Mormon, inspired by a promise given by our modern-day prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. I read it from cover to cover, and in the course of doing so, gained a testimony of its truthfulness through the revealing power of the Holy Ghost. It was as if God himself said “Look… here is the truth and you don’t have to worry anymore.” It pierced my soul with a witness that is undeniable. That same witness was given to me of the reality that Jesus Christ lives and is the Savior of all mankind. He knows us. He has felt our pains. I know that Joseph Smith went as a young boy into the woods to pray, and as he did… an answer to his prayers was given. Our Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ, appeared to him, telling him that the true church he sought was not established upon this earth at that time. I know that our lives are eternal, and what we experience here is just a flash in the scope of eternity. We are God’s sons and daughters. We are literally children of God. I know all of these things without a doubt in my mind, and I hope with all of my heart that everyone who reads this (and even those who don’t) will take the time and initiative to find out for themselves what is true. Humble yourself in prayer, and go to your Father in Heaven with any righteous desire and he’ll provide a way. I say all of these things, in the name of our holy redeemer and messiah, Jesus Christ, Amen.
