There is power in it!

"Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God, to be more like Him in our daily walk, to feel His presence with us constantly? If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book.

It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the straight and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

Ezra Taft Benson

52-53 1 Ne. 22:17-2 Ne. 1:5

Verse 28 of chapter 22 really put a neat picture in my mind. "Behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel..." I imagined such a diverse celestial kingdom. The gospel is rolling forth to all the world. We are so blessed to live in these times, where we can witness and participate in the gathering of the 12 tribes of Israel. There are faithful brothers and sisters all over the world and we can bring them to safety.

    In our travels weve gotten to go to wards and meet saints all over the country. It never ceases to amaze me that although even within the US cultures vary so much, the spirit and warmth we feel when we walk in is the same. Thats what I picture zion or heaven being like, just a huge meshof different people and cultures. Cant wait for those ward parties!!! I bet the food will be amazing!!;)
