Please share your feelings/testimony of Joseph Smith.

I know that Joseph Smith is and was a true prophet called by God. Joseph Smith is such an example to me, and also his wife Emma. They both suffered so much for this gospel. Joseph truly did pray in a grove to know which church to join, and was answered by the Father and the Son. He also translated the Book of Mormon so that the words of past prophets can be brought forth to those who are willing to accept and act upon the words contained in this marvelous book.

Although Joseph suffered many things such as tar and feathering, losing children, being mocked, and chased out of many towns and states. He was also falsely accused many times, and it eventually got to the point that his life was taken at Carthage Jail on June 27, 1844. Joseph stayed true to his God, and this gives me the knowledge and strength to know that I can live this gospel and know that I won't have to face anything near what he did.

I have gained such a testimony of this Prophet from a play we did in our ward in memorial of his birthday, and I learned so much about him, and his love for this wonderful gospel and our loving Heavenly Father. He also is an example to me because of the love he had for his wife; the consideration and adoration is so admirable for anyone. He truly loved his wife Emma, and losing so many children she still stood by his side and he gave her the strength she needed to keep going.

I love Joseph Smith, and all the prophets which lived before him and after him to this day, they are truly called to serve today.
