Satan Is Gaining Ground, Only Repentance and Walking with Christ Bring Peace! Dieter F. Uchtdorf

What if a simple stained glass window in a post-war German chapel could plant the seed of an apostolic testimony? 🌿✨
In this deeply personal and inspiring message, an Apostle of the Lord shares his childhood story: As a young boy in ruined, post-World War II Germany, he pumped the old air-driven organ bellows every Sunday in a humble chapel. While the congregation sang hymns of the Restoration, he sat in the perfect spot—staring at a beautiful stained glass window depicting Joseph Smith's First Vision.
There, in the sacred grove, young Joseph knelt in a pillar of light, looking up to heaven. Week after week, during hymns, talks, and testimonies, the boy gazed at that scene. Through the universal power of the Holy Ghost, thousands of miles from Palmyra and over a century later, he felt it was true: Joseph Smith had seen God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. The Spirit whispered peace to his young soul, confirming the reality of the most sacred moment in modern history.
This simple act of service—pumping the bellows with all his strength—became the backdrop for divine confirmation. It taught him:

Testimonies often start by believing on the words of others (the gift to "believe on their words")
The First Vision's power is universal—reaching a boy in war-torn Germany, blessing families and the whole human family
Joseph Smith was a friend of God... and therefore a friend to him
Humble beginnings lead to profound witness: From bellows boy to Apostle of Jesus Christ

Now, as one of the least among us called to the Quorum of the Twelve, he testifies: Jesus Christ lives. Joseph Smith was a prophet. The heavens opened again in 1820, and the fruits of that vision continue to bless millions today.
If you've ever wondered how a child's quiet faith can grow into unshakable conviction... or how the Spirit can testify across time and oceans... this story will touch your heart and strengthen your own testimony of the Restoration.
