Before Elder Dial heads off from here to there, he wants to share with you his
renewed love of the Book of Mormon.
What I love to do is read and study the Book of
Mormon! It wasn't until I came to the MTC that I actually started
studying the Book of Mormon. I've read it a couple times before but
never really studied it. I love it! I would encourage all you that are
reading the Book of Mormon to study it also! The knowledge you will
receive will be greater than reading any other book. If you still aren't
reading or haven't read the Book of Mormon I again extend the challenge to you. I can
sit here and tell you how much I love reading the Book of Mormon and
what blessings will come from reading it, but unless you actually
experience it, you won't know what I'm talking about. You have agency so I
can't force you to read it, but I would encourage you to read it. Again
you can't know of my joy and happiness unless you experience it
yourself. I know the Book of Mormon is true! That Joseph Smith restored
the Gospel of Jesus Christ again on the Earth. I pray that the Book of
Mormon will become more than just another book to you, rather a tool
that you can use to enhance your life. Take the challenge. Read the Book
of Mormon just once. Just one time, and you will know what I am talking
about when I and countless others say that the Book of Mormon will
bless your life in ways you can't even imagine. I leave this promise
with you. A promise that prophets and apostles have promised from when
the earth was created. That promise is this, that you will grow closer
to God and Christ. And that as you read and study it, you will discover
and receive answers to your prayers. You can be comforted in times of
trials as well as receive knowledge as to how to over come these trials.
But know this, the Lord will answer our prayers, but it may not be how
we want or when we want them, but he will answer them. We have to do our
part and be patient and be looking for our answers. God may answer our
prayers, but unless we are constantly searching for an answer and have
faith that we will receive an answer, then we may miss the quite
whisperings of the Holy Spirit.
