When I finished reading it I took Moroni's challenge again and I was expecting some huge spiritual experience, maybe an angel would show up or something. When I finished praying I sat there for a while, and I felt nothing, nothing at all. I was actually pretty disappointed. I went to bed feeling pretty discouraged and as I was trying to sleep I pondered what had happened.
It was then that I had the thought "Elder, What are you thinking. You already know that this book is true. You should be thanking God for it, not asking a question you already know the answer to."
So I did. I got on my knees and I prayed thanks for all the wonderful things that I learned and I also thanked God for giving me access to such a great amount of knowledge.
then, It happened. Everything new that I had learned from this most recent reading of the Book of Mormon hit me all at once. and I mean EVERYTHING. It was like the lives of all of those ancient prophets had flashed before my eyes. It was truly incredible.
The Book of Mormon is so perfect!
Always remember. The church is true, the book is blue, and it's all for you!
Have a great week!
