KEYSTONE

We had an activity in the mission where we built an arch with the Book of Mormon as the keystone.  For every block, we shared an experience in which an investigator overcame a concern by using the Book of Mormon.  The mission would like you to have a picture of it!
I want to share my testimony with you.  I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  I followed the promise of Moroni.  I read the Book of Mormon, and I asked God, in the name of Jesus Christ, if the Book of Mormon is true.  The Holy Ghost responded.  I felt a warm, peaceful feeling in my heart, and a very clear, precise thought that the Book of Mormon is true.  As I face challenges in my daily life, I frequently recall my testimony of the Book of Mormon.  There's still a lot I don't understand, but I know without a doubt that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God, that no other book can help us come closer to God than the Book of Mormon.  That faith supports me.
I would like to invite you to continue reading the Book of Mormon daily, and applying it to your everyday life.  In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
