“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” (Neil L. Andersen, “Joseph Smith,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov.
2014, 30).
