CONCLUSION:

Quotation Read the following testimony from President Joseph Fielding Smith: “We believe that following a long night of darkness, unbelief, and departure from the truths of pure and perfect Christianity, the Lord in his infinite wisdom has again restored to earth the fullness of the everlasting gospel. “We know Joseph Smith is a prophet; that the Father and the Son appeared to him in the spring of 1820 to usher in this final gospel dispensation; that he translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God; that he received keys and authority from angels sent for this very purpose; and that the Lord revealed to him the doctrines of salvation. “We announce that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the kingdom of God on earth, the only place where men may come to learn the true doctrines of salvation and find the authority of the holy priesthood” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1971, p. 5; or Ensign, June 1971, p. 4). Testimony Bear your testimony that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. Help the young women understand that because of their membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they have a great legacy of faith and truth. Encourage them to develop stronger testimonies that this Church is true, that it was restored through Joseph Smith, and that all the blessings of eternal life are available to the faithful.
