I am Mormon because… My family comes from pioneer stock. My ancestors crossed the plains so the church has always been in my family. Growing up my parents were the Relief Society President and my dad was Bishop. Having such strong parents was great because it gave me a great foundation to work from. At 17 I really had a desire to gain my own testimony. I knelt down and prayed and asked my Heavenly Father if everything that I had been taught were true, I asked if Joseph Smith was a prophet, I asked if the Book of Mormon was true. I received an answer right away with a great burning in my chest and the pure thoughts of knowing that all this was true and that I did below to the correct church. Many things have happened to me over the years. I have had my times where I have even been in-active at church but never have I doubted that experience and those feelings. I know the Book of Mormon and the Bible go hand in hand and are the word of God, I know that Joseph Smith restored the Gospel and that Thomas S. Monson is our prophet today.
