My Testimony of Joseph Smith

As asked by my dear prophet, President Nelson, I've been focusing on learning about the church restoration and getting a stronger testimony on it. A few years ago, I decided that I needed to know for myself if the restoration was true. I fasted and prayed about it and my testimony got a lot stronger. I know with all my heart that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and that the Book of Mormon is true. This book has changed my life and has brought me closer to God than any other book. I'm so grateful for Joseph Smith and all he went through so I could have the church in my life today. 

My Relief Society has been doing a 21-Day Challenge of the Restoration and yesterday we were asked to listen to "Joseph's Smith's First Prayer" and think about what stands out to us. This song is so sacred to me. When I was a teenager, President Monson came to talk to the members in Rio de Janeiro. I was part of a regional choir and one of the songs was "Joseph Smith's First Prayer." I remember I felt the spirit so strongly. It was the first time this song really touched me.
