The Book of Mormon

Chase and I just finished reading the Book of Mormon together for the first time this last week. I am so grateful for his patience with all of my questions and his willingness to discuss the things we learn. I loved this experience with him and am so excited to start it again!

I thought I would take this chance to share my testimony of the Book of Mormon. I know that my Savior lives. I know that He came to the Americas after He was resurrected and saw, taught, healed, and loved the people there. I know that He restored truths of the gospel to them so that they could progress on their eternal journey. I know that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon. I know that he was a prophet of God and that through his translating he was able to learn of the truths that have helped establish this true church today. I am so grateful for him and his sacrifice. I am overwhelmed by the sacrifices of the people and the prophets in the Book of Mormon, that they made so that we could know of the truths and miracles that they knew and experienced. I love feeling the Spirit while I read the stories of the Book of Mormon and learning something new every day and every time I read it. I know that the many languages the Book of Mormon has been translated into and the way that its truth is being spread is nothing short of a miracle, and also nothing less than what has been prophesied. I am grateful to be a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and to know so many people that are willing to leave their lives behind to help others come to find the truth. I gain a greater peace and a greater sense of gratitude for the Book of Mormon every time I read it and can't wait to see what I will learn this next time. It really does contain the things we need to know to find happiness and direction for how to live our lives righteously. What more could we ask for?
