"A
testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith can come differently to each of us. It
may come as you kneel in prayer, asking God to confirm that he was a true
prophet. It may come as you read the Prophet’s account of the First Vision. A
testimony may distill upon your soul as you read the Book of Mormon again and
again. It may come as you bear your own testimony of the Prophet or as you
stand in the temple and realize that through Joseph Smith the holy sealing
power was restored to the earth. With faith and real intent, your testimony of
the Prophet Joseph Smith will strengthen. The constant water balloon volleys
from the sidelines may occasionally get you wet, but they need never, never
extinguish your burning fire of faith."
—Neil L. Andersen,
"Joseph Smith"
