Mission Book
of Mormon Study – Buch Mormon Studium 2013
It’s
so important that we learn together and that we acquire information and
knowledge in our personal study. It is critical to our success. We have
to fill the well so the Spirit
can draw from it. So it can, as Neal
A. Maxwell said, “take the lead of an already informed mind.”
We have to have studied and paid the price and acquired that knowledge, and then allow
the Spirit to direct us and guide us.
President Henry B. Eyring stressed
the crucial role the Holy Ghost has in spiritual learning when he taught: “Our [investigators
– added by President] cannot
know of God, and so love as they must love, unless they are taught by
the Holy Spirit. Only by the Spirit can they know that God loved us
enough to send His Son to be the propitiation
for our sins and that Jesus is the Son of God and that Christ paid the
price of their sins. Only by the Spirit can they know that Heavenly
Father and His resurrected and glorified Son appeared to Joseph
Smith. Only by the Spirit can they know that the Book of Mormon is the
true word of God. And only by inspiration can they feel the love of the
Father and the Son for them in giving us the ordinances necessary
to receive eternal life. Only by obtaining those
witnesses, placed deep into their hearts by the Holy Ghost, will they
be rooted on a sure foundation to stand steady through the temptations
and trials of their lives.”
(President Henry B. Eyring, To Know and to Love God, address to CES Religious Educators, Feb 26, 2010)
Dear Elders and Sisters,
Therefore I’d like to introduce our united Book of Mormon Study in the first three months in 2013,
starting 6 January up to the General Conference, 6 April 2013. As
an introduction, you might study first the talk by Elder Neal A. Maxwell,
“Teaching by the Spirit—‘The Language of Inspiration,’” (CES Symposium on the Old Testament, Aug. 15, 1991).
Then, I’d like to ask you to start with a new “economy” Book of Mormon or your current one and
to study and to mark it, in the language you understand best,
with the following questions –
- • What role does the Holy Ghost have in teaching our investigators, members, and in teaching myself?
- • How can we know if the Holy Ghost is working in our teaching?
Below you'll see the mission wide BoM study plan that we’ll be able
tobe united in our study. Please, give me report about your study in your weekly letters. Also all Senior
missionaries are invited to do the same!
