Yay!!! I did it!!!! I finally finished the Book of Mormon!!! I finished last night. It took me a day longer than planned I think because of the holiday and because Tuesday was an extremely busy day. But I finished!! It was a wonderful experience. I have learned so much and gained such an appreciation for the prophets of old; what steadfast faith, obedience, and love of the Lord they had. I think I was given a more eternal perspective of life from reading as well. Every time I may feel less hope or discouragement, I can remember that it passes and that the Lord has stretched out his hand in mercy to me.I am so grateful for the fullness of the gospel that the Lord has blessed us with today. I am grateful to know that miracles, and visions continue today. My faith has been strengthened in the Lord and I know He loves me.
It's amazing how much free time I found that I have. I think this will also help me to be more productive because I realized how much time I actually DO have in the day. If anyone does want to do this though, I highly recommend getting plenty of sleep. lol. There were days that I felt like I was a zombie because I felt like I was just reading and falling asleep all day. Poor Ammon. Feeling the spirit a lot really takes it's toll on the physical body after a while. But what a blessing.
I am glad to be done though. It was an exhausting week. I think next I will read the Doctrine and Covenants(at a slower pace, though).
