Role of the United States

Choice #4 (section 98)
If you are not a citizen of the United States and the member of the United States, or if you are a citizen of the United States, but have lived in another country for a period of time, how do the citizens of other countries feel about the United States role in the restoration of the Gospel? Describe their feelings, and how they relate to section 98.

I was born in Chile and lived there until I was ten. Being a little kid I never really payed attention  to the role that the United States had on the restoration of the Gospel. As I convert to the church I only knew the basics. After my family and I moved to the United States my knowledge of the Restoration increased. I was able to see as I studied the scriptures and the constitution of the United States the role that this country had for restoring of the Gospel to occur.

My dad was called six years ago to be a Spanish Branch President here in the United  States. There, I was able to meet many individuals from around the world and I was able to learn their thoughts and feelings of the Unites States role in the restoration of the Gospel. Many of them view the United States as a place of rescue. They know that this land was where the Gospel needed to be restored. They know that this land is a place of liberty and justice. Those were some things that the land of where the Gospel needed to be restored had to had.
members of the Church from various countries around the world are be grateful for this country and for the opportunity that has brought them to come to the knowledge of this Gospel. Members know that the Unites States provides the liberty to practice religion. In many of their origin countries this doesn’t happen. This testifies to them that the United States was truly chosen from Heavenly Father.

I truly think that their thoughts of the Unites States is so positive because they live here. I know as a little child people in my national country used to joke around that if all the countries of South America combined forces they would take over the United States. I think that many members of other countries don’t know about the United States’ constitution and their history. That changes many people’s perspective and feelings about the people and the laws of the United States.
