"Today, a wonderful presentation was given by the primaries and then an inspiring concluding talk of Bro. Alden Bigtas made my day. I learned that the Book of Mormon is really a precious thing, also the bible. He discussed the possible sacrifices that prophets had done. How difficult they engraved the words in the brass plates and if there will be errors in some engravings how would they re-engrave it again? Things like that.. As I ponder about it, I can imagine their efforts("Yung tipong pinagpapawisan na talaga, higit pa sa pawis ng nag-jogging/hiking?"). Even moroni, the son of Mormon, excuses about the weaknesses of the prophets of old and also his father and himself in writing/engraving because it was really too difficult to engrave words at the brass plates. Imagine that in our days, we can just type our thoughts and then later re-arrange and edit it, and if you're done then print it out, but them, they have to first collect some brass and turn it to plates and because it was a commandment from the LORD, for sure they have to do their best that all things have to be perfect. Also I was mesmerized (in Jacob 4:1-4.) how Jacob and others rejoiced in doing those. The verses were inspiring and it has to be appreciated by us, because they done it just for us to know how the LORD works mysteriously and that he really do loves us. It uplifts me to not just read the scriptures but feast upon it. I know there are some hidden messages in the scriptures that I can apply to my life to become a better person. I believe on every words that are written on it. Well, I have read the Book of Mormon once, but I am reading it again because for me it is important."
Must read the Book of Mormon daily!
