I don't know how many times I've read The Book of Mormon... I'll be finishing it once again this week, and I've had an overwhelming feeling of how wonderful it is! I can't say I've ever had that WOW moment, where I've known without a doubt that it's true. I've just kind of always known. But I do know it's an incredible book. It lifts my day! I can't wait to start it over again! This time I'll be reading it in 3 months. I've done this 4 times before, and it's a wonderful experience. It has helped me understand the people and their relationships better. It also helps with the story - it's easier to follow, when you still remember who everyone is from previous chapters and books.
I know The Book of Mormon is true. I know it's a wonderful book. I know Joseph Smith translated it. I'm so grateful I have it, and our Church as a whole, in my life. It's wonderful to have direction. I don't know how people do it without a direction they're heading toward. I love this Gospel!

Isn't life strange? I have never read the entire BOM, front to back. I know..it's sad really. But I have had that moment. That WOW moment. When I was a teenager, my Bishop asked me if I had ever read it and I said no. He told me to at least read the Book of Moroni at the end. So I did one night. By the end I was just bawling my eyes out. The words were so beautiful and the Spirit was sooooo strong that I couldn't deny it. I had been going through a rough time...so it was just what I needed.
I need to read it completely though. Maybe this will get me on the right track :)
I think we should challenge all of our girl friends to read the BOM in 3 months. What do you think?
Sounds great!! Should we try to all start together, or just challenge them the next time they finish?? I'm starting again on Tuesday...
Send me the schedule! I need this!!!
