My testimony was, as a child, based upon a profound gift of faith. I just knew that God lived and that Jesus Christ was a personal being with which I could speak with.

Later, after spiritual experiences endorsed and built upon my strong faith, I had no doubt, and a greater understanding and appreciation for my Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ in my life.

One of my most sacred blessings has been to have a personal knowledge of Joseph Smith. I know he was and i a prophet chosen by God to do a great work for our benefit.

The Book of Mormon is spiritual strengthener when things get muddled and out of focus. It has so much for our day, for our spiritual feasting. I thank the Lord often for this blessing.

I am blessed. I thank my Heavenly Father for all the wonders He has seen fit to endow me with, I love Him and His Son with all my heart.

I share these things in the Holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
