And when the missionaries helped me understand and go into Scripture and be able to find confirmation for that and really pray about it – I thought that makes so much sense! That in this day and age, in such time of trial and trouble, that we would be guided and have inspiration through a modern-day prophet. And the first time I heard the prophet speak was the day that I decided to be baptized.

And that was the most amazing experience I ever had. And I thought he is a prophet of God and he is living with us in this world today and I thought – Of course he is! With a loving, Heavenly Father, of course he would have somebody living with us today that could help and give us the inspiration that we don’t have on our own and that these truths will continue to be revealed as time goes on and as we are obedient. I thought that that was amazing – to have a modern day prophet.

I have read this book many times and I testify that this book is true. I have the same feelings when I read the Book of Mormon as I do when I read the Bible. They both testify of God – that he does live, that we are His children, that He cares about us and that He sent a savior into the World – Jesus Christ so that we may repent and return to Him, into His presence one day. I know that this Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is led by a living prophet. I also know that this Church holds the keys of the priesthood which is the authority of God given to man so that we may operate, according to his will.

I am happy that the Church has been restored and I invite everybody who sees this video to investigate the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Now Joseph Smith, when he was 14, he went into a grove and he knelt down to pray to find out which church to join. And in doing so, he had a vision. And in this vision, he saw the Heavenly Father and he saw Jesus Christ. And they spoke to him and told him not to join any church. He would later go on to meet an angel by the name of Moroni. And he was told where there were some golden plates buried in the ground. And he took these golden plates and he translated them into what we have now – The Book of Mormon.

And on the plates was information about the people who lived on the North and South American continents. Now Jesus, when he was resurrected, he came to Jerusalem and other areas around there and showed himself to his apostles and to others. And he said “Other sheep I have which are not of this fold”. And that’s in the book of John, in the Bible. Now, I believe that the other sheep were the people over on this continent. So when he came over to this continent, the people saw him and were excited and they kept a record of it. And they wrote it down.

And that was part of what was on the plates that Joseph Smith translated. This is my message today. And I bear my testimony to you that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true and it’s the one and only true church on the earth today. That Joseph Smith is a prophet, that the Book of Mormon is true and that Jesus Christ is the son of God and I say this in his holy name. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Woman: I have two other sisters.

Man: A lot of people think that Mormons have huge families, that they’re like TLC families or 18 children, they keep on having them.

Woman: They actually aren’t like that. I actually have just one brother – there’s just the two of us and I have a mom and a dad and I have multiple moms.

Woman:There’s only 2 kids in my family.

Man: I have two brothers. That’s it.

Woman: Most people think that Mormon chicks get married when they’re like 18 cause they’re super desperate.

Man: I got married not at 18, I was 24 years-old.

Man: I’m not married. I’m dating people. I wanna get married, it just hasn’t happened yet. I’m almost 24.

Woman: I graduate this semester. I’ve made it through not only 4 years of school, but 6 years of school – college without getting married. 24, still not married. It’s kind of weird.

Man: We dated for 18 months. And then we got engaged and called it off and got married 4 months later. So after 2 years of dating this girl, we finally tied the knot.

Woman: I’m 19, almost 20. I don’t plan on getting married till I’m done with grad school.

Man: I don’t want us to have kids either. We’re gonna get the degree before we get the diapers.

Man: I’m from Rigby, Idaho. Not all Mormons are from Utah. We’re everywhere.

Woman: I’m from Hong Kong.

Man: Our church is worldwide. There’s actually more member of the church living outside of the US than inside the US.

Woman: I grew up in Canada, I was born in Hong Kong, though.

Man: There is this cookie-cutter, only in Utah – I grew up in California! I lived for 2 years in Brooklyn.

Woman: And I’m from South Carolina, not Utah, not Idaho, not any Mormon state, as some people thing.

Woman: A couple of misconceptions I think people have about our religion is that we don’t welcome other ethnic groups into our church, which isn’t true.

Man: We love everyone. The church is in Africa, the church is everywhere.

Woman: There are a lot of different races in our church. I’m from South Dakota and there are a lot of African Americans there. If you guys take a look, there’s a picture of me with an African American on the refrigerator.

Man: I think that the common misunderstanding is that Mormons are these freaky cults that sacrifice animals or they’re Amish or they’re these cookie-cutter people. Polygamy is a big one and that’s simply not true.

Woman: What’s up? Come inside! Take a look around in here and you’ll see that we have not one picture of Jesus, but we have two! There’s one over here. A lot of people think we worship Joseph Smith and we have a lot of Joseph Smith pictures everywhere. Pictures of the living prophet – we do have a picture of the prophet over here, but you’ll see that the main focus in our apartment is Jesus Christ.

Woman: From our first article, I think, we believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

Woman: Most people think that Mormons don’t believe in Christ and that they believe in Joseph Smith as a God or Moroni.

Woman: Yeah, we believe in God. And Joseph Smith, he’s a prophet.

Man: Mormons is just a nickname. The church has always been The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Woman: My church is based on the Heavenly Father and his plan and his son.

Woman: But actually, we believe in God and his son, Jesus Christ and we don’t worships Joseph Smith. We respect him and appreciate what he did, but we don’t like, bow down to him.

Man: Joseph Smith was a prophet just like Noah or Abraham or Moses. He was just in our generation. We believe in Jesus Christ and he is the son of God and he did do what the Bible – which we read, it’s my favorite to read, the scriptures, the gospels. We believe that he is the son of God, that he came down and he did everything that he says he did. He is our Savior if we accept him – that is my belief and that is the belief of millions of other Mormons.

Woman: We do have a book of Mormon, but we also have the Bible. The Bible was here first, we believe in Jesus Christ, obviously, we believe in the Bible.

Man: We believe in the Bible. King James comes in front of everything else we read. We quote that just as much we would any other book.

Man: So that idea that we worship some other being other than God or Jesus Christ is absolutely not true. And it’s absolutely not true for me.
