"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."

28-29 1 Ne. 14:3-23
Our numbers may be few at the last days, but we will be upon all the face of the earth. The power of the Lamb will descend upon us and if the Lord is with us, who can be against us? The Lord will fulfill his covenants and promises to us!
We have to say it's been hard getting our children to listen to even a fraction of what we are reading. We know that consistency is key, so we keep on reading. We have testimonies that the BofM is the word of God. It has blessed our lives immensely. We know it is true and we hope and pray that by us consistently reading to our kids and bearing testimony of its power, that they too may gain a testimony.
