So where did we end off??? somewhere around 1820. So arround this time a young boy Joseph Smith was searching for the complete truth that Christ had established while he was on the earth, just like a young mechanic would search out all the proper parts for his car. Joseph Smith traveled from church to church looking for the complete church and he found good in all but he also felt like some were missing part of the truth! A mechanic likewise goes from junkyard to junkyard looking for all the parts that are right, but usually doesn't succeed in finding everything he needs in one junkyard. Joseph Smith took his delemna to the scripture. A mechanic takes his to an auto part magazine. Joseph Smith read in James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not." Joseph Smith knew all he had to do was ask God. His experience is remarkable.

One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other--"This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!" |
God the Father and Jesus Christ answered his question. All the churches had part of the truth but none of them had the complete truth. Jospeh Smith was called to restore Christ's church on the earth today. You can find out for yourself if the church has been restored by reading the Book of Mormon, praying to ask God if it is true, and taking the appropriate actions when you receive you answer. We all must be mechanics of our soul and restore the truth within ourselves!!!
