I honestly don't even know how to start this. I kind of stole this
idea from another Sister who is serving here. I thought that it was
brilliant, so I'm extending the challenge to all of you!
Ok. Here it is, plain and simple: The Book of Mormon has changed my
life. I can't even tell you how much I have grown to love it over the
course of my mission. I wanted to invite everyone who reads this to read
the whole Book of Mormon by May. If you start in January it averages to
about 3-4 pages a day. I know that it can change your life too!
I wanted to echo a promise made by President Ezra Taft Benson about reading the Book of Mormon:
"The moment you begin a serious study of [the Book of Mormon, you] will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power
to stay on the strait and narrow path. … When you begin to hunger and
thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater
abundance”
I know that this is all true! The reason? The Book of Mormon will
help everyone to come closer to the Savior. It will help us all to more
fully access the Atonement, which allows each of us to do the hard
things that we are called to do!
I know that anyone who takes this challenge will come closer to the Savior and have the increased ability to do hard things!
Oh! And will you all tell me what you are learning from your studies? I would love to hear each of your insights!
