The Power of a Book......

"It is not just that The Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that The Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find great power to resist temptation. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance." -President Ezra Taft Benson

That is a long quote to share but today was the first day of Seminary for the school year. We have a great class; fifteen awesome Los Gatos High School Youth! 100% attendance today! And this year the course of study is The Book of Mormon. When you read the promise above with a class of kids who are willing to show at 6:30 am every morning to study the scriptures; there is a great feeling (and power) in the room! We have an amazing combination this year of wonderful kids and a great topic to study! It feels like it is going to be The Perfect Storm for an incredible year in Seminary!
