I So Love the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I have been reflecting a lot lately on what I need to do to move forward in my life. I have goals that I want to achieve in order to do help me progress. The gospel of Jesus Christ is so vital to to helping us succeed and have happiness. How blessed I am to be a "Mormon" to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have heard, seen and read articles from those that have left the church as well as those that have never even tried to really get to know the doctrine and it only elevates my testimony of the truth. My heart hurts for those that don't have the gospel and even more for those that had it and let it go.

I know the Book of Mormon is a true book. I have read it and the Holy Ghost has born witness to me of it's truthfulness.

"And I exhort you to remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust? . . .

"And God shall show unto you, that that which I have written is true" (Moroni 10:27, 29).

Recently I attended girls camp for my 1 millionth time. This time however I went not as a leader of any sorts. It was a great lesson to me to sit back and let others grow and learn. I did however often think "If they would only listen and learn from those that have experience, so many problems could be avoided." As soon as I thought that the Book of Mormon came into my mind. I could here Lehi, Nephi, Mosiah, Alma, King Benjamin, Jacob, Moroni, Mormon, etc...echoing the same message to me. "If she would only listen and learn from those that have experience." So many lessons from this priceless book have been taught and learned. I am grateful for the sacrifices of those that have worked so hard to preserve these priceless messages for us.
