You

Mormons. Its a site I did myself in both English and Spanish
and covers the history of the Saints there as well as some pictures
from my home ward.

In 1973, I was 19 in college searching for religion. I had learned
to do meditation. One night, I had a dream, an angel of God came
to visit me, he said his name is Gabriel, the same angel that
visited Mary (Jesus's mother). He wears a white dress length down
to his knee with no shoes on. He has blonde hair with nice feature
on his face. I can remember him so well even if I see him today,
I will recognize him. He is young like me at the time I saw him.
He told me to come with him to a large forest, we were standing
seven feet above the ground, we saw a boy aged 13 years old, dig
into the ground and find a book make of Golden plates. The angel
told me that God will call him as his prophet and commanded him
to translate this book into the The Book of Mormon. His name is
Joseph Smith. The angel also told me to sit at Joseph’s place
and feel the process of the translation, he put his hand on top
of my head and give me the authority to feel this process, so
I can know exactly how he translate the book. After the dream
is over, I could not go back to sleep, because it is so real and
impressive.
Six months after the dream,I met the LDS missionaries on Campus,
they told me about the story of Joseph Smith, and then I recognize
it and know this event has happened in 1830. At the time of the
dream I thought that this event would happen in the future, because
the angel speak in the future tense. Why? In the angel’s and God’s
world, they see the past, present and the future in the same realm.
Time is only for us, human beings. They have no time up there.
I now testify and witness to the world that God did call Joseph
Smith as a prophet and did translate the Book of Mormon by the
power of God.
God has his way to do his work and sending his angel is one of
them, next is to send prophets. (Amos 3:7) "Surely the Lord GOD
will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants
the prophets." (Eph.3:5) "Which in other ages was not made known
unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles
and prophets
by the Spirit".(2Thes.2:3)"Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come falling away first".(Matt
17:11) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall
first come, and restore all things." (Isa.49:6)"And he said, It
is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up
the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I
will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest
be my salvation unto the end of the earth".The keys of the kingdom
of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall
the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone
which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth,
until it has filled the whole earth. (see ref. Dan 2:45) No one
can stop the work of God, because this is his work.
Whether Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God or not can be shown
by the work and by the fruits from it. Jesus once said in (Matt
7:15-20), "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know
them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them".
Even after the death of Joseph Smith, the work of God still continued.
The church started with 6 members in the year 1830 and now more
than 11 million members in the whole world and keep growing. You
can tell the fruits where it produces, whether it is true or false,
you can be the judge of it.
(Rev. 14:6) "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on
the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people",
this is the restoring gospel it talks about, and angel Gabriel
and also angel Moroni did their work through Jesus Christ under
the direction of God our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ is the
head of this church. It is built upon the rock of salvation with
prophets and apostles generation after generation. What I have
told you is 100% true. If you like to have a free copy of the
Book of Mormon, I invite you to call 1-888-537-2200 and find out
for yourself. If you are in the foreign country you can read the
book online, please see instruction at the end of this page. Pray
about it and the truth will come. You will never forget this day
once you have found the truth.
And for those who are against the work of God, please ask yourself
this question. "Will I be spotless before God in the judgement
day? What judgement will I have to face when I persuade other
soul to peach against it?" Beware of the Judgement day! You are
responsible of what you preach. Every soul is of value to God.
If you don't know the truth, search until you know it, and if
you are confused, stay close to God in prayers, he will direct
you. Stay away from words or documents that will make you more
confused and do more meditation and direct prayer to God. You
will find the truth.
Revelation are true source from God when you have an open heart,
a humble spirit and be teachable. Just remember the key. True
principle is eternal and can stand any test, and it will produce
good fruits. False principle will not last and produce evil fruits.
You can test any revelation using this method and ask yourself
this two questions. What do I benefit from this revelation? What
do Satan benefit from it? Carefully analysis the assumed result,
then you will know which is from God and which is from Satan.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
