• Reflect on 4 Questions:

  1. Do I know and understand what a testimony is?

  2. Do I know how to bear my testimony?

  3. What are the obstacles in sharing my testimony?

  4. How do I keep my testimony?

• Key elements of a testimony include the (1) belief that God is your Heavenly Father; (2) that Jesus Christ lives and is your savior; (3) that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God; (4) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's restored church; and (5) the restored Church is led by a living prophet today.

• Church members can bear their testimony by sharing spiritual feelings with others - in formal church meetings and one-on-one conversations.

• One can also bear a testimony through "righteous behavior.“

• One obstacle may be uncertainty about what to say. Bear witness Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and thoughts will flood into your mind.

• Another obstacle can be fear. “Having faith … will allow you to overcome these feelings and freely share what is in your heart.”

• “We testify when we love, share and invite, even online.”
