I was recently
privileged to attend a PSI Tours trip to Meso-America. On Monday, the first day, we would be
traveling to a site dating back to Book of Mormon times. We awoke to excitement in the air. As we traveled to Dzibanche, a site with a
pyramid which the base of dates back to AD 250-600, the anticipation grew. We arrived at the site and climbed our first
pyramid of the trip. As I stood on top
of that pyramid, high above the trees, I knew the Book of Mormon is true. The Book of Mormon talks of many battles that
were fought between the Lamanites and the Nephites. A building such as this could have easily
been used as a lookout tower in Book of Mormon days. There was a beautiful spirit in that place.
As I thought
about the godly people that could have lived in that city, my mind was drawn to
how God was with them. He gave Nephi
faith, Captain Moroni courage, King Benjamin wisdom, Ammon and Aaron zeal, and
Moroni hope. But that same God is with
me giving me everything I need if I will only seek first to bring forth His
kingdom. I now read the Book of Mormon
with more fervor, knowing more fully than I did before that it is true.
