I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only true church in the world.  I know that Christ died for my sins that I might be able to live with Heavenly Father again.  I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and the most true book in the world.  I know that Thomas S. Monson is the mouthpiece of the Lord.
