It has been almost exactly 50 years since I first finished reading the Book of Mormon. The year was 1968 and our Church leaders had encouraged the members to read it in its entirety.

It always seemed perplexing to me that people needed to gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon, I’ve always known it was true. I read it cover to cover for the first time when I was 10 years old, and thoroughly enjoyed the stories. It was like the very best action movie mixed with […]

On May 14th the Deseret News published an article about this blog and our digital mission to find individuals interested in The Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a humble “how to” from the Cedar Hills West 10th ward. The steps and techniques we share is not an exhaustive list or a complete manual but […]
I know for myself that the Savior lives. When I was becoming a deacon, I prayed that I would know if the Savior really lives. I went on a week-long camp out with the scouts shortly after turning 12. We went on a 22-mile hike and we got lost and separated. We ran out of […]
