I have been transcribing my missionary journals and found this which was written just after I had been out 1 year, I was in Roseville California at the time.
I Elder D Scott Scheibe have strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It burns with in me the truthfulness of it. I have taught its doctrines and know their truth. I know Jesus is the Christ, he lives and is our Lord and Savior, that he is our mediator between us and our Heavenly Father and I know we are his spirit children and have the potential to became perfect as he is.
I know he has restored the Gospel here upon the earth in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times, though the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know all authority and knowledge necessary for our salvation is found in this Christ Church.
I know we have a living prophet and apostles on the earth today, that they are inspired and they do receive revelation.
I know that the book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price are scripture in addition to the bible.
The heavens are open and we can speak to God our Heavenly father through prayers and that we can and will receive and answer if we ask in faith and sincerity.
I exhort you to study the scriptures, learn all you can of the gospel, live righteously, get married in the Temple.
I promise if you do these things and live the gospel you will find happiness. Study and pray, gain your own testimony of the Church. You will need a strong one to carry you through life’s trials.
Once again, I say unto you this is Christ’s Only True Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I know it as sure as I live and I testify that to you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. Amen
Truthfully and Sincerely
Elder Donald Scott Scheibe
