What is the Book of Mormon?

What is the Book of Mormon? "Whatever our age, capacity Mormons believe the Book of Mormon does not replace the Bible; rather, they are companion works of scripture that together teach about God and Jesus Christ." As members of the Church we all know of the Book of Mormon and what it teaches. We would have gained testimony of it that lead to baptism in this church rather than an other.

Member Missionary Work

Member Missionary Work I've talked about it before, but I found something funny today about member missionary work. Me and my companion were investigating into community service and I found a post card that made me laugh. I related it to member missionary work. Don't think mental health, think about talking to friends about the gospel.   As missionaries, we understand that it can be hard to talk to friends about the gospel. I...

Just like rock climbing alone can be dangerous, living your life...

And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones.   Elder Ballard, one of the Lord's twelve apostles in our day said of this scripture: "Notice that He didn't say 'glance at them' or 'casually observe them' or 'occasionally take a...

The Grain of Mustard Seed

Matthew 17:20 If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain,  Remove hence to yonder place and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. I think in our lives we have changing levels of faith displayed. For every moment we have an amount of faith in a person or a thing or a principle based on our experiences with it. The above scripture declares that all we need to move mountains...
