Receiving a Testimony of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ

Elder Robert D. Hales
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Following Joseph Smith's pattern, we gain a testimony of the restored gospel through study, prayer, living it, and patiently waiting on the Spirit.

“Like Joseph, we must search the scriptures and pray.”

“But he did not lose faith or forget the power of prayer.”

“If any of you lack wisdom”

“Why are we here on earth?”
