Sisters,
This week in Relief Society, we will be discussing Chapter 10 in the Ezra Taft Benson manual, "Flooding the Earth and Our Lives with the Book of Mormon". I love the progression of the recent lessons we've been studying from President Benson: learning about Jesus Christ, our Savior, then about Joseph Smith, the prophet of the Restoration, then the power of God's word, specifically the Book of Mormon, the keystone of our religion, and now, how we can flood our lives and the Earth with the Book of Mormon!
President Benson says, "We have an increasing number who have been convinced, through the Book of Mormon, that Jesus is the Christ. Now we need an increasing number who will use the Book of Mormon to become committed to Christ. We need to be convinced and committed." He then says, "I challenge all of us to prayerfully consider steps we can personally take to bring this new witness for Christ more fully into our own lives and into a world that so desperately needs it."
Sisters, I echo President Benson's challenge. Please take some time before our lesson on Sunday to prayerfully consider what steps you can take to bring the Book of Mormon more fully into your own life, and come prepared to share the inspiration you have received.
See you Sunday!

Missing you all! Just left a Book of Mormon on the Appalachian Trail AND just gave one to the pizza guy at the hotel. He seemed very sincere and promised to read it.Told him to start in the middle because that's where Jesus shows up. Lots of crazy things happened to where I stayed at this particular hotel today and I think none of it a coincidence after meeting the pizza guy :) Still out of town this week but will see y'all the week after. Love you, Rachel Roark
