The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. FINISHED!

If you have been following my blog, you know that about just over a month ago, the Washington Vancouver Mission was challenged to read The Book of Mormon before June 11th. I am proud to report that I finished it this morning in my personal study! In two of my previous posts, I forwarded the challenge that is found at the end of The Book of Mormon in chapter 10 in the book of Moroni. It says:

4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
 
In my post The Book of Mormon: A Challenge, I talked about renewing this challenge each, and every time we read The Book of Mormon. As I have read, I have prayed to have it confirmed in my heart that The Book of Mormon is true. Each day as I read, I was able to feel peaceful and happy. Through subtle feelings, I came to know all over again that The Book of Mormon is true. I am so grateful for the spirit and the opportunity that he gives me to know "the truth of ALL things." You too can receive an answer through the Holy Ghost.

I know that The Book of Mormon is true. It is the convincing evidence that Joseph Smith was called to be a prophet. Because I know this, I know that Christ's gospel has been restored on the earth again. I am grateful for the prophets who wrote The Book of Mormon. I know that they were inspired men of God. I am amazed at the love Jesus offers us. I know that he lives. He has provided many ways to help us return to him. I am so grateful for that.

Read The Book of Mormon. Pray about it. Then allow the Holy Ghost to testify of its truthfulness.
