Prophets speak for Heavenly Father

Submitted by Feliza on Wed, 12/29/2010 - 3:29pm

I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded (1 Ne. 3:7).

My name is William Paul McCallister, but everyone calls me Willy. I’m ten years old, and last year my parents decided that our family would go to general conference in Salt Lake City.

We live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, so it was a long drive for us. Then we had to stand in line a long time—more than two hours—so that we could sit in the Tabernacle for the Saturday morning session. But it was all worth it. When I saw President Benson, I got a swelling in my chest, and my eyes got all watery, and I knew that he really was a prophet of God. I knew, too, that I should listen and do what he said because he spoke for Heavenly Father. Read more »

Heavenly Father a...

Following the prophet will help us come unto Christ

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Tue, 08/03/2010 - 7:10pm

In the Bible we read of prophets who lived on Earth many years ago. We also read stories about these prophets in the Book of Mormon. Every single one of those prophets testified of Jesus Christ.

We have prophets today who teach us about Jesus Christ, too. We may learn of Jesus Christ by following the prophets who lived long ago and prophets who live on the earth today.
