restored for the blessing of all who will listen and obey.

And the dispensation of the fulness of times was ushered

in by a special vision to a young men not quite 15 years

of age who went into the woods to pray for answers to

questions he had concerning religion.

Joseph Smith describes his glorious vision that unfolded

to his view in these words.

"I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head above the

brightness of the sun which descended gradually until it

fell upon me.

When the light rested upon me, I saw two personages whose

brightness and glory defy all description standing above me

in the air.

One of them spake unto me, calling me by name.

Said, pointing to the other, this is my beloved son.

Hear him."

Knowing that doubt, disbelief, and misinformation, would

immediately follow the prophet as he recounted the first

vision, the Lord brought forth the Book of Mormon, another

testament of our Lord, Jesus Christ. This ancient volume of

holy scriptures is a sacred companion to the bible,

containing the fullness of the everlasting gospel of Jesus

Christ. It also provides convincing evidence to the

world that Joseph Smith is truly a prophet of God.

My witness to you that this is the Church of Jesus Christ

established in the Latter Days in the name of our Lord and

Savior, even Jesus Christ, amen.
