happiness

i am currently reading "Our Search for Happiness" by Elder M. Russell Ballard. i'm not very far in but i am getting to where it talks about how the apostasy came about and into the restoration. here is the passage i just read:

"In 1638 Robert Smith left England for the promised religious freedom of colonial America. More than a century later his grandson, Samuel Smith Jr., fought to preserve that and other cherished freedoms as a captain in George Washington's revolutionary army. One of Captain Smith's soldiers was his son Asael, who once recorded that 'it has been born in upon my soul that one of my descendants will promulgate a work to revolutionize the world of religious thought'"

how cool is that?

the church is true. have a wonderful night!
