Today I listened to a Conference talk about the Book of Mormon. I heard Elder Holland say (he may have been quoting somebody else) that any man who would be decietful enough to make up the story of the Book of Mormon would not have written the amazing and simple truths that are found in it.
I know that arguements can go back and forth constantly about the Book of Mormon and its truthfullness and as I have mentioned before that there is a feeling in my heart that tells me it is true. Well, that still applies, but I want to say right here that I KNOW with my heart and my mind that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I KNOW that it testafies of Jesus Christ. I KNOW that many simple eternal truths are found in the Book of Mormon. I KNOW that Joseph Smith translated (not wrote) the Book of Mormon. I KNOW that the Book of Mormon has defined me as a person more than any other book on earth. I KNOW that I gained a testimony of these things through my own knowledge and not based off of my parents testimony. I KNOW that God loves us and that is why He restored the gospel to the earth and gave us prophets on earth tody.
I am so thankful for the Book of Mormon! I know I am a better person for reading and studying the Book of Mormon.

The Real Site
My Testimony Blog
The reason I started this blog was so I would have an outlet to express my testimony and share it with others. In the latest Ensign (church magazine) we were encouraged to use the internet to share the gospel, so here I am. I originally titled the blog as religionmormon.blogspot.com, so that if someone searched for religion and mormon maybe they would find my blog and learn about my views of my religion. I have tried googling it, but nothing comes up. I guess I really don't understand how google works, but either way I plan to update this every Sunday with some thought or another on my feeling about religion, gospel, Jesus Christ or other things that touch me spiritually. I don't expect that a lot of people will read it, but it will give me a chance to reflect on my week and what things were important to me spiritually that day. I am just one person and my views don't necesarily reflect the views of my church, which is why I put a link to the church website under The Real Site.
