Book of Mormon

Today was Fast and Testimony meeting. For those of you reading not of the LDS faith every month we set aside the first Sunday of the month to help each other and learn from one another by getting up and bearing our testimonies of Christ and of this gospel to each other. Today I bore my testimony for the first time in 5 years! I feel very accomplished.

I wanted to bear my testimony here about the Book of Mormon.
Three years ago one of my best friends was on his mission in Washington, D.C. He sent me a letter that at the time I didn't put much thought into. I found this letter a few weeks back as I was trying to make a big decision in my life. It reads:

"READ THE BOOK OF MORMON. I promise you that as you read with a sincere heart it will become harder to put the book down than it ever was to pick it up. It can answer anything. Your hearts greatest desires. As you do this life will begin to be a little easier. Nothing has changed except your view and your understanding. "

I have since read the Book of Mormon. It has answered all my questions, even the ones I didn't know I had been asking. I have come to know my Savior, Jesus Christ. He is my best friend.
I have heard someone say once before it is a book written by God or it is a book written by the Devil there is no middle ground with the Book of Mormon.
To know of the truthfullness of this book is to know that I am a daughter of God. It is knowing that there is a plan for me that is bigger than my understanding. It is knowing that I always have a friend and a compainion who understands. It is knowing that God loves me.

"It is a tangible thing that can be handled, that can be read, that can be tested. It carries within its covers a promise of its devine origin. Millions now have put it ot the test and found it to be a true and sacred record." President Gordon B Hinckley 

I accepted the challenge to read the Book of Mormon and to find out for myself if it was true. I know that it is.
