Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration

Following is a video about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1820 a 14 year old boy entered a grove of trees and prayed to God about which church to join. The answer he received has changed the lives of millions of people around the world. This is an amazing testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the struggles of his life as he brought about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are forever grateful for the faith that he had as a young boy, the strength he had as a man and the work he accomplished as a prophet of God. He translated the Book of Mormon by the power of our Heavenly Father. We also know that we have a living prophet today, President Thomas S. Monson, and he leads and guides us in the ways of God and Jesus Christ. We add our testimony to those of the prophets - We know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and is the only true and living church on the earth today - and as missionaries in the California San Bernardino mission, we have the opportunity to tell many of God's children this message.
