First off let me tell you about the Restoration and why it is important. We are all children of our Heavenly Father and he loves us. The gospel of Jesus Christ is to help us live happier lives. He revealed that gospel to prophets ever since the world began. Our Heavenly Father always had a person here who could teach the Gospel. When Jesus Christ came to the earth he set up his church and taught his gospel in it's fulness. He taught this gospel to his apostles and gave them priesthood authority to run his church. When Jesus Christ was crucified and suffered for the sins of the world, his apostles tried to keep the gospel in line and correct. The Apostles were persecuted and many were killed. After this the people began to misinterpret things and changed some of the doctrines. This is why there are so many churches today. So this is what happened, after many centuries the fulness of the gospel was restored. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith, who was praying to find the truth. They told Joseph Smith that the fulness of the Gospel was not on the earth. They called him to be the prophet of the Restoration. They restored Christ's Church once again. More scripture was revealed through Joseph Smith that he translated by the power of God. This scripture is called the Book of Mormon. If you read and pray about this book and ask God if it is true you will receive an answer as it says in Moroni 10:3-5. I know this is true. I am so thankful for the blessings I have received through being a member of Christ's Church. I love sharing the happiness it brings to people everyday. I have seen it bring so much Joy to people on my mission.
Here is a video about Joseph Smith.
