I was just thinking about the miracle of Christ visiting America and how amazing that would have been. I was also wondering how many people still didn't believe? I mean when he was on earth in the days of the Bible people didn't believe him. What does it take for people to believe and gain a testimony of Our beloved Savior?
3 Nephi 12:1 "Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these twelve whom I have chosen from among you to minister unto you, and to be your servants;" It's the same with the twelve apostles today. Christ wants us to listen to them to and to obey what they are teaching us. 
(3 Nephi 12:16)
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works... and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. Matthew 5:16
AT the end of 3 Nephi 12:48 there is an invitation to become like Christ it says,"I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect."
What can we do to become perfect?
We aren't perfect but, what kind of work and dedication does it take to become like our Savior?
It is truly a blessing to have a perfect example to follow though.

Blessing: I'm able to feel the spirit and understand truth.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
