When I was reading this scripture this morning, I found a cool quote from Joseph Smith that I had in my scriptures. It says:
"I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."
Pretty darn cool!

Hey Girls!
Hello to my WONDERFUL BEEHIVES!!!
I wanted to start this blog so that we can have an online journal with each other about reading the Book of Mormon over the next few months. Check the blog daily and write your own posts when you want to!
I'm still playing catch up this week so I'm still in 1 Nephi. I love the way Nephi writes. I love they way that he teaches Laman and Lemuel. After Nephi heard Lehi tell about his vision some things confused him. So he prayed about it and received answers to his questions. Later Lamen and Lemuel are also confused, but they don't know what to do. I like Nephi's response.
1 And it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had been carried away in the spirit, and seen all these things, I returned to the tent of my father.
2 And it came to pass that I beheld my brethren, and they were disputing one with another concerning the things which my father had spoken unto them.
3 For he truly spake many great things unto them, which were hard to be understood, save a man should inquire of the Lord; and they being hard in their hearts, therefore they did not look unto the Lord as they ought.
Nephi was very discouraged and sad that his brothers would not be obedient. He went to talk to them.
7 And they said: Behold, we cannot understand the words which our father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the olive-tree, and also concerning the Gentiles.
8 And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?
9 And they said unto me: We have not; for the Lord maketh no such thing known unto us.
10 Behold, I said unto them: How is it that ye do not keep the commandments of the Lord? How is it that ye will perish, because of the hardness of your hearts?
11 Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?—If ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments, surely these things shall be made known unto you.
So simple! If you are confused about anything all you have to do is ASK Heavenly Father believing that you will receive an answer and YOU WILL!!! Nephi is so awesome!
