As a missionary you are constantly testifying of The Book of Mormon. Therefore, I thought it was of utmost importance that I have a strong testimony of its truthfulness. So, one night, near the beginning of my mission, I decided to pray sincerely about the book, since up until that point it didn't seem like I had received a clear answer. I found myself doubting my testimony, because that night I didn't have any special feelings or thoughts.
The next day, we had a lesson with a friend. We had brought a copy of the Book of Mormon to give to him, but....he wouldn't accept it! I was devastated hearing he didn't want it. I got really emotional and, all of a sudden, found myself sharing my feelings about this book of scripture.
Then, I realized I do know that The Book of Mormon is true. If I didn't, I wouldn't be so hurt that my friend didn't want it. I knew it would bless his life. Through sharing my testimony, I was able to truly find it.
God totally answered my prayer and questions in an unexpected way, and I am so grateful for that.
I would like to invite you all to pray about The Book of Mormon again. I know that you will be able to remember your testimony or finally, truly, discover it. Please remember that God loves you and He wants you to find truth.
