Parley P. Pratt
I will tell [you]
my brethren, when I was a lad just out of my teens—about 1830—I read a
book that was but little known in the world, although now, probably, it
is in half [a] dozen [of the] principal languages of the earth, and it
was entitled the Book of Mormon,
and had many predictions in it that are plain and easy to be
understood, and the spirit and power of God bore witness to my heart of
their truth. … Well now, these prophecies interested me I assure you.
They made an impression upon my mind [that] never has been effaced. … I
knew in me [in a way] that [would have] been no stronger if I had seen Jesus Christ in his glorified body and heard [the] same words from his own lips” (Oct. 31, 1852).
Dec. Ensign, 57.
