Because they knew not where to find it...

Luke 23:34 "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."

Every person on this earth begins life without knowledge in just about anything. As we learn of Christ, it often feels as though we have heard these words before This is because we have. Though it was not in this life. It was in the pre-mortal existence. A time when God organized His plan of happiness.

This is what the whole gospel hinges on. "The great plan of happiness". It is the reason that I feel a duty to offer you the knowledge which I am coming to know. It is the same duty to serve a full-time mission. It is because we all agreed to come here and suffer the trials that the flesh would present us. The 1st and continued trial of hearing the Master's call, as sheep knowing the voice of their shepherd, and going to Him. I have found Him. And so I do my best to share what I know. I do this in the hope that you can find the joy and happiness that I have. I believe that this world offers many forms of pleasure, and I know that joy and happiness are here in the Gospel of Christ, in trying to live as He did.

"...kept from the truth because they know not where they find it." D&C 123:12
