Studying the Book of Mormon

Currently, I am taking a Book of Mormon class. I thought the first exam started this week, so I studied up for the exam. I love the material. I very much appreciate the wonderful messages and points made.

After studying for the exam, I then went to the college testing center take it. I found out I misunderstood the schedule and the exam is a week later. Part of the bright side is I got somewhat ahead on my Book of Mormon class material. Additionally, since I spent a significant portion of my time on it this week, I decided to post this blog about some of my Book of Mormon related media use.

Every day, or to be more specific, on about 99% of days, I read some of the Book of Mormon, and have done so for many years now. Since getting married about two years ago, I've done so with my wife on about 98% to 99% of those days. 

I feel reading from the Book of Mormon blesses my life greatly. I do it because I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is true. Thanks, in large part, to me reading the Book of Mormon, I know my Heavenly Father loves me; I also know my purpose, God's plan for me, where I go after this life, and how I can live with my family forever, through time and all eternity. Reading the Book of Mormon helps me better understand the gospel, know it is true more fully, live the gospel and keep the commandments of God better; and helps me to be much happier than I would be otherwise.

I love the scriptures. I love the Book of Mormon! I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!

  1. I really love the Book of Mormon too. I know when I read it consistently that I feel more aware of God's presence in my life, and I also am more aware of the lies and traps that Satan tells and lays, which I thought was really interesting. It's something I've come to appreciate, though, as Satan has been a busy dude. Thanks for posting your testimony; it's a good example for me and gives me the guts to do it myself!
