This is my opportunity to reflect on this past year of study of the Book of Mormon. I get a chance to share with you what I have learned and how this effort has affected me throughout the year. I hope you find it inspirational.

In this last episode for the Book of Mormon Come Follow Me program this year we are taking a close look at Moroni's last words of wisdom to us. His promise to those who read this book and his testimony of the power of the Holy Ghost are the perfect way to end this otherwise tragic story.

Moroni takes the time to share with us three letters that his father wrote to him as their civilization collapsed and ended. These are the last words of Mormon and they relay not only the horror and tragedy of those closing scenes but also words of hope and the Lord's promise to those who can live their lives with Faith, Hope, and Charity.

We begin closing out our study of the Book of Mormon this year with the final words of Moroni. This first episode of the next three weeks will look at his words to the Lamanites as he explains the first principles and ordinances of the gospel.

The end of the Jaredites is a tragic and unnecessary story that never needed to happen. The Lord gave Coriantumr every chance to stave off the pending doom and very clear warnings as to what would happen if he didn't repent. Well, he didn't repent and the results were horrific for is more than two million people. 

The tale of the Jaredite barges and their journey across the Pacific Ocean is one of the most controversial stories of the Book of Mormon. But there is a remarkable story to be told and close examination finds ample evidence for such a voyage. And that evidence is very compelling. I invite you to listen and form your own opinions on these extraordinary scriptures.

Thee incredible story of the brother of Jared as he goes before the Lord and pierces the veil. The Lord touches sixteen stones and makes them glow. He stands before the Lord and receives his personal redemption from the fall. 

The Book of Ether is an anachronism in the Book of Mormon; it is a bump, it sticks out. It is about a people from a completely different place, a completely different time,  and a completely different race. The people were not Israelites...the Israelites didn't even exist yet. So what is it doing in the Book of Mormon. Well, it is the story that was on the 24 gold plates that king Limhi's people found and that Mosiah translated. We have it because Moroni decided to tag it on to the end of his Father's abridgment; and I'm so glad that he did. 
Come join me as we explore the world of the Jaredites!

It may seem odd that there would be a book inside of the Book of Mormon titled "the Book of Mormon" but Mormon was a prophet just like any of the other prophets and was entitled to write his own account just as they had. He didn't know, at the time, that he would end up writing a larger abridgment of the entire record as well. 
His own record was a tragic account of the total destruction of his people and the horrible scenes that he was unavoidably made to observe. This is a sad tale but one that is important to learn if we are to avoid the same fate they suffered. So gird up your loins and have a listen.

As Jesus finishes up his visit to the Nephites he grants the disciples their desires regard his work. Three of them have a very special request and because of that, they are among us today.
