The Power of the Book of Mormon

This week I had an amazing experience with a recent convert named Emma. She is such an amazing woman! She works hard and is so sweet and humble. Hermana Taylor and I went to go to see how she was doing and as we were talking to her she said that she was having trouble reading the scriptures but had a great desire to know what was in them. We had her get her phone and we downloaded the scriptures on her phone so she could listen to them rather than read them. Once it was downloaded, we started the scriptures in 1 Nephi. When we pressed play, she began to weep. She was overcome with joy that she would be able to listen to the scriptures and hear the word of God. It was an amazing experience and testified to me that the Book of Mormon really does have the power to bring happiness to our lives and fill us with lasting joy. 

I wondered to myself if I really cherished the Book of Mormon as much as I should. It is a book with great power that can only be found and used as we read it. When we read from its pages and pray to God, we can find all the peace we seek. If you haven't read the Book of Mormon, please do. All of the holes in your life will be filled and I promise that you will find greater peace and know the truth. And if you have already read it, read it again! The insights and power and strength that comes from the book is unparalleled. 

Have a great week!
