Books of Mormon

I just want to talk a little bit about my testimony of the Book of Mormon (and some other things).  I love this thing.  I think I said two posts ago how I have started re-reading the Book of Mormon.  I'm also studying PMG and some other books, so I read 5 pages/day of the BOM which should last me till right before my mish!  I have read the Book of Mormon all of the way through before...and I've read it every night for years...but it has been a while since I've really sat down to read it all the way through...since President Hinckley's challenge.  But every single night so far, it has calmed my fears or answered my questions from that day.
Today I have been really thinking a lot about Taylor who leaves in a little over a week.  I am so excited for him! And I know he'll bless the lives of so many people.  He gave me a call today from the hospital telling me about a family emergency.  Of course I'm a worrying freak.  So I'm a nervous wreck for a little while.  I was talking to my parents and they were telling me that everything should be okay and I hope it is.  But then I start worrying about Tay! I'm already freaking out about going out into the mission field and he leaves in a week! Yeah....
So I open up my scriptures to read my five pages for the night.  I was not concentrating very well cause I am thinking about so many things.  But then I read 1 Nephi 11:31.  It is during Nephi's vision.  He sees the Savior healing every disease and affliction.  The Savior can bring peace to me.  He can bring peace to Tay and his family and can heal us of all of our afflictions.  Even when we're in the middle of some foreign country having no idea what in the heck brought us to put ourselves in this situation, Christ is there to heal me and to comfort me.  Not to mention the Comforter! The Holy Ghost! He is there and all we have to do is stay worthy of that.  If we keep ourselves clean and pure we have a constant comfort available at all times. Not to mention a protector and a guide and a constant companion.
I am definitely rambling. Summary:  I am grateful for the Spirit, our Savior, and the Book of Mormon.

Taylor is going to be a fantastic missionary.  He is so strong and faithful.  He is going to bless the lives of so many people and I can't wait to support him through that and to hear all about it.  He is an amazing person and I am so blessed to have him in my life.
