“A 14-year-old girl … said that she had been discussing religion with one of her friends at school. Her friend said to her, ‘What religion do you belong to?’
“She replied, ‘The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons.’
“Her friend replied, ‘I know that church, and I know it’s not true.’
“‘How do you know?’ came the reply.
“‘Because,’ said her friend, ‘I have researched it.’
“‘Have you read the Book of Mormon?’
“‘No,’ came the answer. ‘I haven’t.’
“Then this sweet young girl responded, ‘Then you haven’t researched my church, because I have read every page of the Book of Mormon and I know it’s true’” (“The Book of Mormon—a Book from God,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 76).
As we live life, we will be faced with times that our testimony is tried. Like this 14 year old, we should stand for what we believe in and not be afraid to be who we are. I have read the Book of Mormon cover to cover, and I know it is true. And I challenge you all to do the same, read it, study it, and pray/ponder about its truthfulness. And you will be blessed with answers in your life and strength when you are weak. Love you all!<3
