When I prayed about the church, I did not recieve an immediate answer, although I did believe in the church. I did feel peaceful about what I was doing. I did feel I knew it was true. My testimony actually came mostly on my mission. When we taught people about Joseph Smith seeing God the father and his son, Jesus Christ, the spirit would testify. I can remember that I felt the Spirit of God every time I did that. Sometimes, it was subtle. Sometimes, it was overwhelming. But always always it was there. I owe a large part of my testimony to my mission, and to teaching others about the Church. In testifying of the truth, the truth was in turn testified to me. I know that the Church is true. I've had it affirmed to me over a thousand times. I am very familiar with the voice of the Spirit, and it was God who manifested himself through the Holy Ghost every time I taught about the Book of Mormon, or the vision of Joseph Smith. I can't express how deeply I know by now, the truthfulness of this church. It is impossible to put into words.

I laughed hard. Thanks for that!
