I joined this site, to share my testimony. I have been a mormon all of my life. Being born into a mormon family, you have to go off of what your parents tell you. I always have felt the church was true, but didn't know for sure until last year. My older sister had been struggling with the church, and questioning if Joseph Smith was a true prophet, so it got me thinking. I decided before I make any decisions, to read the book of mormon myself, and pray about it. Well I am halfway through the book of mormon, and I can testify that if you read it, and ask Heavenly father with real intent, that your prayers will be answered. I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of god, foreordained to restore the gospel. I know with all my heart that the church is true, and I am so thankful that I had the parents I had to teach me. I hope that if you ever question the gospel, that if you read the book of mormon and pray about it, that you will get your answer.
