I love this book.
I am astounded at the number of people online that are scared to read it themselves.
It truly testifies of Christ. I invite anyone to read it for themselves. This book, as a companion to the bible, can change your life.

The Holy Bible tells the story and life of Jesus and his disciples in an amazing way.
The Book of Mormon is a companion to the Bible by testifying of Christ and clarifying biblical beliefs perfectly.
If you haven't read it, please do so. It will testify to you of Christ.

This is my grandpa.
He was called as mission president of New Zealand in the late 50s. He loved the Maori people more than anything all of his days. Upon his death in 2003 his home office was still filled with Maori books and pieces.
I love this man.
"I'd never met President McKay to that point; and on that first day of the dedication, I was walking down the corridor of the temple . . . A friend of mine caught me by the arm, and said, "Brother Simpson, step into this sealing room. I want you to meet someone."

Eternal families is one of the most important pieces of God's plan. You can't just say "let's not teach the YW about marriage and motherhood, because not everyone will get married." Marriage is THE plan! It should be taught as good and sought after.

Talk to the YW about marriage and finding a good spouse. It is an eternal principle. I am so frustrated of seeing posts about "don't teach them about finding a spouse, it's out dated, etc". on FB. Eternal principle. Teach it.
