Our family truly enjoyed being spirtually fed this weekend. The messages were strong and clear. They were a great reminder to us that we need to try harder, be better and carry on!
One of our favorite talks was given by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. He proclaimed the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon in a prophetic and powerful way. He said:
"For 179 years, this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history -- perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands," Holland said. "If anyone is foolish enough or misled enough to reject 531 pages of a heretofore unknown text teeming with literary and Semitic complexity without honestly attempting to account for the origin of those pages ... such persons, elect or otherwise, have been deceived and, if they leave this church, they must do so by crawling over or around or under The Book of Mormon to make their exit."
We add our testimonies to his. We know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. We know that as disciples of Christ we must study it and live its true principles. We also know that Thomas S Monson is a prophet of God and are grateful for his wise counsel.
