In 1820 in the state of New York, a young man named Joseph Smith (14 years old) lived with his family. The area was in great excitement over religion and many of the churches in the area were very active in spreading the word. Many of the churches fought with each other about who was right and who was wrong. One day Joseph was reading in the Bible in the book of James chapter 1 verse 5 which reads "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him". Joseph said that this scripture struck him and he felt that he needed to ask God which of all the churches were true. So on a spring morning in 1820, Joseph set off to pray. He went to a grove of trees near his home and began to pray, and one of the most amazing things happened in the history of mankind. God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ appeared to the young Joseph. They actually appeared to him in that grove. God the Father said to Joseph pointing to his Son. "This is my beloved Son, hear him." Joseph asked about the churches and Jesus Christ told him that at that time that none of the churches were true. He said that he would restore the church again to earth and that Joseph would help him. I know that God the Father and Jesus Chirst appeared to the boy Joseph and that through him over the years that followed they have restored the Church of Jesus Christ once again to the earth. Please ask God if this is true and he will tell you that it is, I know it is.
