The Book of Mormon

I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I believe in new revelation and that it is not just for the prophets of the old testament.  God revealed the Book of Mormon to Joseph Smith.  This separates us from other Christians because not only do we believe in the bible to be scripture and the word of God, we also believe that the Book of Mormon is. This is why we got our nickname Mormons. It is another testament of Christ and his faithful followers in the Americas where Christ visited for a brief time in his resurrected body and taught the principles of the gospel.  The principles of the gospel are very clear in the Book of Mormon.  The bible was translated over and over and over and over again, therefore losing some of its clarity.  But the Book of Mormon was only translated once from its original plates.  Of course there are parables in both where you can only understand the meaning/clarity of the scriptures by how in tune you are with the spirit, aka "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."  I can testify that I know the Book of Mormon and Bible are true.  They are comforts to me daily and I am so grateful that God has given us these resources for our lives here on earth.  If you would like to learn more about the Book of Mormon, go here:http://mormon.org/book-of-mormon/ (this is one of the few sites on the internet that actually tells the truth of the Book of Mormon)

Now for something jovial....

Many of the gentile persuasion in the SLC area have taken to calling members of the church "Mo's."
Well, the truth is that being called a Mo isn't so bad. While it's not exactly a term of endearment, Mo beats some of the other things I've been called--lots of them by fellow Mo's. To ease the tension, between Mos and gentiles, I've come up with a brief Mo Lexicon. Practice these terms, learn to be comfortable with your Mo-ism.
MO - Mormon
NO MO - Non-Mormon
MO NO MO - Apostate
MO NOPOLY - Utah

MO PEDS - People walking across the street to Temple Square or the MTC in Provo.

Last Christmas season, I received a call from one of my non-LDS friends. She said " Our family received a plate of cookes and it was signed 'from the Mia Maids'. I wanted to thank them so, I have looked in the town telephone list and in the phone book. I can't find anyone with the last name of Maid. You know everyone one in town, are they a new family?"

Two elderly women (90's plus) were discussing life on their front porch when one said, "You know what's really worrying me?"
Her friend answered "No, what's really worrying you?"
"I am so old all my friends in the celestial Kingdom will be thinking I didn't make it!"

 I remember one time that I had a investigator meeting with two elders named Elder Jensen and Elder Lamb. They were talking about priesthoods. Elder Jensen asked me if I knew what the Aaronic Priesthood was, I guessed and said that it was the opposite of the real priesthood. (I thought they said Ironic Priesthood)
