"The Book of Mormon Is True"

By Ginger Murnieks

     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.
