The Book of Mormon






Sorry for the confusion this week! My P-Day got switched to Tuesday because we went to the temple today! It had been too long, and so being able to go with Elder Sickler and Elder Clayton was really spirit-filled and enjoyable. The temple is a great place to be able to feel the spirit and truly refresh for the upcoming week. It's a blessing to be able to have a temple anywhere remotely close and it's something I'll definitely try to attend consistently once I'm home. Also, I was able to finish the Book of Mormon again last Sunday, and holy cow is it incredible! Never have I read it so in-depth and consistently to be able to feel the joy and spirit that is carried so incredibly through the book. All the factual based evidence or the years of hearing stories fail to even resemble the testimony that comes through the Holy Spirit. The joy, enlightenment, and understanding I was able to experience were unlike any other type of answer anyone else could tell me. Please, personal answers are more important than what anyone else can tell you, so if you have the desire, read from the Book of Mormon. If you read with a sincere heart, wanting to grow closer to Jesus Christ, the Spirit will testify its truth to you whether it is true or not. Those answers can't come through anyone but you and God, but I can promise that you'll grow closer to Him if you do.
Elder Shepherd
