Chapter 1
Emily
graduated from seminary last night. She
was invited to share her testimony along with five of her classmates. She stood tall, full of grace and truth. Her testimony was simple and strong. “I know the Book of Mormon is true,” she said
with enthusiasm. “Joseph Smith is a
prophet,” she stated with dignity. She
even paid homage to her dad for being her first seminary teacher and getting
her off to a good start. I was beaming. We had a brief moment of mirth, when her name
was not read: She leaped to her feet
from her place on the stand and I jumped to my feet too. The high councilor saw that he had missed her
and shouted her name into the microphone.
“EMILY STONE, EMILY STONE!”
Everyone chuckled, including Emily.
My daughter knows the Book of Mormon is true because she has been
reading it every night since the ninth grade.
She has also kept a journal faithfully as Nephi did.
Something new with the latest edition of the Book of Mormon is the change to the paragraph written by Mormon or Moroni at the beginning that starts with, "An account of Lehi...." This paragraph is now printed in regular rather than italicized script. This is to show that this was in the original plates, whereas, the script that was added later at the beginning of the chapters was added by modern day editors.
