I absolutely love those scriptures that prophesy about things that are to come to pass and already have. This one is of course about the Book of Mormon. I consider the Book of Mormon to be one of the greatest gifts in my life. I would not be where I am today without it. There are few things that bring me more joy than reading the Book of Mormon and learning about it. It contains my testimony. I've read it four times and I am now and my fifth round. I remember the first time I read it and I could barely remember a word I read. The second time was similar, but I picked up on a few familiar stories and scriptures. The third time I was able to remember quite a bit and I was connecting things more. I loved the fourth time, because I remember reading 1 Nephi 1 and just thinking "I GET IT!". It took me four times to understand the Book of Mormon and I still am learning more and more of it. The fifth time through has just been amazing. The one thing that stayed constant though, was the feeling I had. I'm happier when I read the Book of Mormon and every time I finished it and knelt down to see if Moroni's promise would ring true, my heart has been filled with warmth and emptied of any doubt that the gospel is true. I know the gospel is true and I know the Book of Mormon is true and I know it will change lives and has.
