I've learned about Jesus Christ, that Jesus Christ is not just an imaginary or made-up person or figure. I mean, Jesus Christ really died for me. And I know that He did. And I know in my heart that He did, and that you can actually find out for yourself. And once you do, you will have a completely different look at life. Learning about the Church and learning about God, my Father in Heaven, and learning that Christ is real and that He's my brother from a pre-existence, from a life before, that we are all here with a purpose to return back to God, helps me every day of my life.
