Impressions of General Conference (Part II)

Although all the talks were great today, what stood out the most to me was Jeffry R. Holland's powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon.  Elder Holland said that perhaps no other book in religious history has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart as has the Book of Mormon. Yet it still stands "because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young learned translator."  If the Book of Mormon wasn't true, why would Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum devote their lives and DIE for it?  They were willing to die rather than deny the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.  Elder Holland testified that one cannot "come to full faith in this latter-day work — and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these our times — until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ of whom it testifies."


I can't wait for the November Ensign to come out so that I can read and study this talk along with all the others of this Conference when they are published.  Oh how I enjoy this spiritual uplifting through hearing the words of the living apostles and prophets!
