This week one of the things that we read was the introduction to The Book of Mormon. I thought what a wonderful way to start. Everytime I go to read The Book of Mormon I tend to jump straight to 1 Nephi and I skip over the Introduction and Testimonies. I am so glad that Come Follow Me study focused first on Introduction and the Testimonies. One quote that I found that helped build my own testimony was “… Through all of these years critics have tried to explain it. They have spoken against it. They have ridiculed it. But it has outlived them all, and its influence today is greater than at any time in its history” (The Stone Cut Out of the Mountain, Ensign 2007). This quote hit me hard. I took time to reflect and realize that The Book of Mormon is standing the test of time. Many people come and try to disprove the Book of Mormon, but not once has it been broken down. I see the Book of Mormon and I see it standing tall and proud for what it is. I hope that I can be more like that. Standing tall and being true to who I am. A daughter of God. I love how you mentioned that once you bear your testimony everything else fades away. This helps me realize how important testimonies are and how powerful they can be! This blog has inspired me to be more faithful to who I am. I love the work that you are doing and hope that I can inspire others as you have inspired me!
