A Great Work of God

by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

April 2010 Ensign page 4

I had never heard the story of Solomon Chamberlain before. I think it's amazing how many people were prepared to hear the restored gospel. I guess people are still being prepared. Sometimes I wish I were one of those who saw a vision or heard a voice directing me to Palmyra, New York in the early 1800s, or just directing me to the Church on the earth now. Seems like it would be easier in some ways, like you know for sure the God sent you that message and it's true. I guess God sent me the message before I was born instead, and it has worked very well for me, so I won't complain. I will be happy with what I have been allotted. I am very grateful that I have always known the gospel is true, that the Church on the earth today is the church that Jesus Christ began when he was living on the earth. I feel very fortunate to have this knowledge. I may not have seen a vision, but I know in my heart and mind that it is true.
