He is!

I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God in its purest form. It teaches me how to return to my Heavenly Father, not necessarily how to avoid destruction and misery. The Book of Mormon changes lives for the better when followed. I also believe the Bible to be the world of God. It teaches me many of the simple lessons that I tend to forget.

I know that the family is truly an institution of God. It is my foundation and safehold because of the principles it has been built on.

I believe that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God just as Gordon B. Hinckley, Brigham Young, Joseph Smith, Moses, Adam and everyone in between were. He guides this church under God's direction. This church is God's church, not man's.

Most importantly I know that He is!
I know that Jesus Christ lives. He is my redeemer, savior, and most dear to me, my friend. I have hope in my Savior, that he lives, and faith in His plan.
He is my best friend. The only person that I can talk to and not feel ashamed. I can pour out my heart and I know that he understands and listens. He is there to help me through any obstacle or problem I run into. He's suffered for my sins, he's felt all my pains, and knows every ache I have. I have great comfort knowing that he's done that for me because he loves me and wants the best for me.
I believe everything I am and will be is because of Him. Everything I have is because of him and not because of my own strength.
I believe in His love and because of that love I can one day return to him if I endure and follow him faithfully.
