Yesterday, I completed reading the Book of Mormon in 40 days. What an amazing experience! It is something I do each year. This time as I read, I developed such a great love for the prophets that we learn from in this book. I came to know them as individuals and to suffer and rejoice with them as I would a friend. I love that I am able to learn something new, grow as a person and become closer to my Savior each time I read from the pages of the Book of Mormon. My love and appreciation for Joseph Smith, his sacrifices, and the great faith it took for him to translate this book are immeasurable. How blessed I am to have the gospel in my life, to have scriptures and modern day prophets to help lead and guide me.
Thank you everyone for sharing in my goal of reading 52 books this year. Finishing the Book of Mormon is officially (though not really) my 52nd book. What an amazing journey!!
