I BELIVE IN CHRIST

Dear Moroni,
You are awesome. Your words have been read by millions and millions of people. The Book of Mormon is now one of the most influential books in the world. It is the most correct book and the keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have personally grown nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book. The Gospel is so true and the true church really has been restored upon the earth. The Prophet Joseph Smith helped to restore the church here on the earth. He saw God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. It is the Lord's church. We have a prophet today, President Monson, and apostles and they really do lead and guide Christ's church through the direction of the Spirit and modern-day revelation. They hold the priesthood as do all males who are members and have been found worthy. It is the power and authority of God to do his work here on earth. We have missionaires all over the world teaching and preaching that Jesus Christ lives and to come unto Him. I cannot wait to go serve a mission for the Lord and to be an instrument in His hands for good. We all face trials in our life and we will always have to, but it is up to us whether or not we will be victorious and come off conquerer over the adversary. His power is so worthless when compared to the Power of God. Jesus Christ suffered the afflictions, pains, trials, temptations, and sicknesses of every kind. He died and atoned for the sins of the world and then was resurrected. And because of this thing, we have the atonement so we can repent and be forgiven of our sins so that we can return to our Heavenly Father. I am so thankful for the atonement and the grace of God that has been given to all so we can be saved and then be exhalted after all we can do. The Lord loves us and wants us to return to live with Him. It is up to us to make the right choices now so we can do that. I know that when I read and study the scriptures, and pray to the Father in faith, then I grow nearer to Him and am so much happier. I hope and pray that I will not lose my testimony and that I will do all that is needed to achieve my potential so that I can be an instrument in His hands and return to live with Him. In the Name of Jesus Christ Amen.
