More than any words that I heard or did not hear, I knew the Book of Mormon was important to my mother. And I knew she knew it was true. Even as a single mother, she made the extraordinary effort to read the Book of Mormon to me every day until it was finished. As she did, […]
What would God want us to remember? How would He let us know? Where would we find His reminders? About 10 years ago, as I pondered these questions, a clear thought came to my mind: He would put His reminders in the Book of Mormon. He would remind us to “remember, remember,” just like our […]
The key to the remembering that brings and maintains testimony is receiving the Holy Ghost as a companion. It is the Holy Ghost who helps us see what God has done for us. It is the Holy Ghost who can help those we serve to see what God has done for them. – Henry B. Eyring, […]
