Blog #4: General Conference Part 2

This conference was absolutely amazing! So many wonderful talks and so many new insights. A talk from the Sunday afternoon session that struck me so hard was given by Elder Holland. He is one of my favorite speakers, because he has such strong faith and such a good knowledge of the gospel, but he puts everything in very blunt, straight terms so that anyone can easily understand his message. This talk was no exception. He talked about the Book of Mormon, and how people cannot honestly diminish the strength of its testimony and power. People have tried for years to disprove its divine origins, but as Elder Holland pointed out they cannot because the book is of God. He also talked about the Book of Mormon being one of the most scrutinized and inspected books in history, and yet the power from that book still is converting millions to the gospel. There is no way for men to interfere with the mission of the Book of Mormon, because God will not let them. It is His book, and He will do with it what He wants done. I really felt my testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon grow from Elder Holland's talk, and I hope that his added support and emphasis will help others come to Christ through the Book of Mormon, because it is the only book that contains the fulness of the gospel. I love the Book of Mormon, and I hope all people will have the opportunity to read it and to feel of its light and power. I hope that those of us who already know and love the Book of Mormon will do what we can to bring it to those who have not had the opportunity to read it, because we all should want the blessing of the Book of Mormon to penetrate the lives of everyone.
