My Testimony of Prophets in this Day

Woman: When I was told of the Gospel being restored and the Heavens being opened and Joseph Smith being able to translate by inspiration, someone who was not a learned man but was then chosen to be a prophet – I thought why did the Heavenly Father stopped choosing prophets on this world? Why did that cease? Noah and all of these people who were great men, why did Heavenly Father stop?

And when the missionaries helped me understand and go into Scripture and be able to find confirmation for that and really pray about it – I thought that makes so much sense! That in this day and age, in such time of trial and trouble, that we would be guided and have inspiration through a modern-day prophet. And the first time I heard the prophet speak was the day that I decided to be baptized.

And that was the most amazing experience I ever had. And I thought he is a prophet of God and he is living with us in this world today and I thought – Of course he is! With a loving, Heavenly Father, of course he would have somebody living with us today that could help and give us the inspiration that we don’t have on our own and that these truths will continue to be revealed as time goes on and as we are obedient. I thought that that was amazing – to have a modern day prophet.
