I was not there in the Sacred Grove when Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith. Therefore, I cannot testify from personal experience whether or not Joseph actually saw or did not see (what he said he did). However, there is another personage who Joseph claims was there that so I can ask about this matter. I have asked Heavenly Father. And He told me that what Joseph claims happened, actually happened. He was there. He knows. This additional witness is Heavenly Father who can be trusted completely. Heavenly Father told me that He and His Beloved Son appeared to Joseph Smith in the sacred grove. So now I also know what Joseph said is true. 

When I explained this to our ward Primary children on Sunday, it seemed that many felt the Spirit and understood.
