What is Mormonism and How can it bring me JOY??

So to start of I will answer the first question, "What is Mormonism"? I'll do this by using the FAQ from the Mormon.org Website. It tells us this, "When Jesus Christ lived on the earth, He organized His Church so that all people could receive His gospel and return one day to live with God, our Heavenly Father. After Jesus Christ died, was resurrected and ascended to heaven, His Apostles continued to receive revelation from Him through the Holy Ghost on how to direct the work of His Church. However, after they were killed, members changed the teachings of the Church that He had established. While many good people and some truth remained, this Apostasy, or general falling away from the truth, brought about the withdrawal of the Church from the earth (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; Acts 20:29-30). The Apostle Peter prophesied that Jesus would restore His Church before His Second Coming (Acts 3:19-21).

Jesus Christ began to restore His Church in its fullness to the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1820. It has grown to become a worldwide Church with over 13 million members. It has the same teachings and basic organization as the Church established by Jesus in New Testament times."

So that answers the first question I posed, and now for the next one, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only and true way to find happiness. If you’re doing what is right you’re going to feel good about yourself. If you are a true disciple of Christ you will want to do what's right. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has the fullness of the gospel (EVERYTHING we need to find that joy!!) There is one way to happiness and it's by living gospel principals!
