“I at length came to the determination to ‘ask of God’…I retired to the woods to make the attempt…I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God…I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me…When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other – This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” Joseph Smith

I know that brother Joseph saw what he said he saw. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was restored shortly after this experience, through him. He sacrificed greatly to bring the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price forth as well as translations of some of the Bible. He started the building of temples and through him the Priesthood of God was restored to the earth. He organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Priesthood keys were given to him in the temple he and the saints built. He suffered greatly at the hands of his persecutors. The Lord sealed upon him his exaltation as found in the 132^nd section of the Doctrine and Covenants. His eternal reward will be glory.
