Book of Mormon

I got sick this week and had to be inside for 3 days and am currently taking amoxiciline... fun stuff.  As much as I dread being inside I try to look at the positive side of things.  About 4 months ago our mission decided to read the Book of Mormon together in 2 months.  For better or for worse each one of us has our weaknesses.  One of mine is that I´m a slow reader.  Most people can read 11 pages of the Book of Mormon in 30 to 40 minutes, I read 5-6 pages in a hour, and time is not something that we have a lot of as missionaries..  Needless to say, I got very behind very quickly.  It was a struggle wanting so badly to complete the task and doing everything in my power to do so and just not cutting it.  The two months came and I was only half way done.  I decided that I wouldn´t let it get me down, I pressed on.  And on the 17th of this month, I completed the Book of Mormon!  I love that book and the things that it teaches.  I know that it's true.  It contains the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I am so grateful that I get to share it with the world.  In its very pages the words of ancient Prophets speak of the gathering of Israel and how the gospel will be spread to the four corners of the earth in the latter days.  That prophecy is being fulfilled today, and we are a part of it!  What a blessing to be born in this time and under these circumstances.  I invite all of you to find a Book of Mormon, read it, ponder it in your heart, and ask God in sincere prayer if it's true.  As a representative of Jesus Christ I promise you that He will answer through the Holy Spirit, with a feeling of peace and assurance that you can´t mistake.  I love you all and I pray for your happiness.
