We read Joseph Smith's Testimony when we were in our hotel in New York. The Spirit really struck me with the overwhelming truth of it all when I read:<BR/><BR/> "I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation." - Joseph Smith<BR/><BR/>I am so grateful for those in my family who introduced me to the Gospel too. My mom is a convert from Wisconsin and my dad's mom is a convert from North Carolina. I tell people that I've had it easy because I never had to "search" for the true church, I was born with it all around me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your stories LeahAliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13505403758580459943noreply@blogger.com
