Chase, told me about this talk in his last letter. And while I was in my empty dorm, I remembered it. So I sat on my bed with some cracker chips and cinnamon toasters and listened. Hard. I let the words wash over me and as I did I felt closer to that love of mine, and even more importantly, to my Heavenly Father. I felt His love and my testimony of the truthfulness of this wonderful church, and the prophets, that truly are the prophets of God, grow stronger-and I needed that.
And, I need you all to know that I do know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church containing the fullness of the Gospel. I know that with every fiber of my being. I am proud to be a member of something so amazing that it can soothe any pain, comfort any worry, and calm any mind. I know that Joseph did see God the Father and His son, Jesus Christ, that day in the grove, and I know that he did speak to Them. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and translated correctly and I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us and that it will be revealed in His own due time. I know that if you will ask-earnestly, and with faith-that you will be answered. I don't know when or how. But, you will be answered. He will never fail you.
I do love you all, and wish you comfort through your hard times, and comfort that you are going the right direction in the good times , and comfort in your frustrating or decision making times.
And please, if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask. I may not know everything, but I can help you find someone who does
