2. What do I know about the Savior, how have I learned it, and what am I doing with what I know?

I know that the Savior lives, that he is my Lord and my God. I know that his church has been restored to the earth. Heavenly Father has gifted the world these truths through his Son, Jesus Christ, in the scriptures, including the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and other doctrines. As a disciple of Christ, I take this message and share it wherever I can. I bare my witness to you that I know these things to be true and all that desire to know them as well, can and will find them too.
