When I was young, not long after I had been baptized at age eight, I kept on having nightmares and couldn’t sleep very well. My mother had a very interesting solution. I would read a chapter from the book of mormon every night and she promised that I would not have a bad dreams.
So I tried it. Every night I read a chapter. I didn’t always understand what I read, but I did it until I was finished. I was so excited. I ran to my mother and told her that I was finished. She smiled and asked If I had asked God if it was true. I was stunned. I didn’t know that you had to ask anybody anything about the Book of Mormon. She then told me that it was a promise from God that all who asked would know if it was true.
So that night I asked God in my prayers if it was true. Stunningly, I recieved an answer. I can’t remember it very well; it’s more of a feeling that I remember than anything else — a feeling that it was true, and it stuck with me.
The next morning I remember proudly walking up to my mom and telling her that I knew that it was true. She smiled and told me that it indeed was.
