thoughts having to do with the Book of Mormon

I was thinking about something that the missionaries talked about during correlation meeting.

They were talking about the Book of Mormon. How its the keystone to our religion, how its a testimony builder, among other things. They gave us each a copy of the Book of Mormon. One of the missionaries got up and asked us to look through the book and give scripture showing how we know its true or something like that. I couldn't come up with the specific scripture at the time, but I mentioned that it talks about Alma baptizing people in the waters of Mormon, so the church was kind of established before the Prophet Joseph Smith. At the time I said it was in Alma, but its actually in Mosiah 25:18.. some others gave some great answers. I can't remember what they were though. The missionaries suggested sharing our testimonies of the Book of Mormon in the door approach. I realized that I don't have a testimony specifically about the Book of Mormon. I mean I know its true, but beyond that.

I was listening to the Book of Mormon tonight, I finished up Helaman and just listened to 3 Nephi 1 when I decided to type this. I realized that listening to the words testify to me that again that the book is true. Particularly because it corroborates with the Bible and prophesies of things that happen in it. It truly is another testament of Jesus Christ. Like how Tad R. Callister of the Seventy gave his testimony of the Book Of Mormon in the October 2011 general conference, fall session: http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/10/the-book-of-mormon-a-book-from-god?lang=eng

If you haven't watched/listened/read it yet, I really suggest you do.. even if you have, do it again.
