I was born and raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, I didn't truly know that it was all true until I read and prayed to know the truth for myself that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that this church is really the church of Christ here on the earth today. I was in my early teens when I finally did that: I read the Book of Mormon and I asked God to know the truth. This sensation of peace swept over me, letting me know that Jesus Christ is truly my Savior and that, especially as I put my trust in Him and try to do the things that He would have me do, everything would work out according to the plan that He has for me. Thoughts came to my mind saying, "These things are true...it wouldn't make any sense for them to not be true."
Since then, I have had many experiences that have reaffirmed my testimony of Jesus Christ, His divinity, and that His Church is on the earth in our day. I have seen miracles in my own family and I have seen Heavenly Father's guidance in my personal life. This helps me know and remember that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ truly are here right beside us. I am very grateful to know these things! Life would be hollow any other way.
