Book of Mormon

We finished the Book of Mormon together again! It took us less than 2 years this time too! We weren't perfect at reading every single day, but we tried and this new year we will do better again and gain more. We need the scriptures. We need to learn and grow and feel spiritually fed. We need to be able to grow closer to God each day. We need to learn more our of Savior constantly. Through the Book of Mormon all these things were accomplished. Our relationship, our testimonies, and our faith grew because of the hope, faith and charity of those that recorded their dealings and trials as they were commanded to. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, lives. He died for each of us. He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane and was crucified on the cross at Golgotha. The people of the Americas testified and recorded what they knew happened and would happen. The prophets taught us from the very beginning with Lehi to be obedient. To love. To forgive. To believe, even if we just have a desire to believe. To trust. To have faith, hope and charity. To endure. To pray always. To repent. To listen. To let the Spirit guide. Most importantly about Jesus Christ. We are thankful for the scriptures. For the truth. 

"We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins..And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul.."- 2 Nephi 25:26,29
