“Prayer is the best way to know right from wrong. 1 Nephi 10:19 teaches that those who diligently search will find the mysteries of God. James 1:5 states, ‘If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God.’ Meditate on these verses, and, like Joseph Smith, you will find answers to your sincere prayers.”

“I started to find out more about the history of the Church by reading Saints and Revelations in Context. When I started to read them, I had many doubts. I also started to pray a lot to God, because my parents always taught me to doubt my doubts before my faith. It wasn’t easy, but early Church members were human, and they sacrificed and believed in the living God. That is why we have the Church today.”
