Greetings

[JohnPAB]

Greetings brothers and sisters, I'm a 15 years old member from Portugal.

I was born in a half recent mormon family, my father wasn't a member. I was baptized when I was 9 and have been an active member even since, and acquired a real testemony when I was almost 14. My father was baptized almost 2 years ago, and this year we went to the temple of Madrid to be sealed as a family for eternity, except for my brother, who became inactive shortly after my father was baptized.

I joined because I wanted to have more contact with fellow mormons from different cultures, maybe learn a few things, and maybe even teach a few too, who knows. Hope I can have a good time around here.

I'd like to leave you my testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only church on Earth with the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, that it was restored by Joseph Smith, who was a prophet of God, who translated the Book of Mormon, which is a true account of the people of Christ who lived in America and a witness of Christ's glory in that same continent, that Christ lives even now, and that he loves us all and so does God, the father. I bare my personal testemony that prophet Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet of God, and so were the ones who preceded him, that the temples are holy buildings and that the ordinances made there are both true and eternal, that this is the glory and work of God. And especially, I bare testimony that families can be united for eternity. And all these things I know, for it has been confirmed to me by the spirit as a result of personal experiences, and I know that God knows it, and I shall not deny it. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
