You had to be there!

Have you ever tried to tell someone about an awesome experience you had or about something amazing that they just need to try but they dont get it and dont listen?!  Almost like a “you had to be there” kind of joke?  Thats how i feel about the Book of Mormon!  I feel sometimes like i am begging people to just read the Book of Mormon so they can feel what i feel and see what i see.  They can know the truth!  But they never take the time to open it and find out for themselves.  Just like that “you had to be there joke” is the same thing with the Book of Mormon; except one thing, they can be there!  You can be in there personally every time you read it and “liken” the scriptures to yourself.  We have to put ourself into the Book and look for the answers we need in our life.  On our way to the library today we stopped and talked to a guy on the street for a good 30 minutes; the whole time he was testifying of the truth he knows and he was telling us his concerns about things he doesnt know.  We offered a Book of Mormon to him and asked if he would read it; he didnt take it, we offered again…didnt take it.  All i could think about was if only you would read this Book then all your questions would be answered and you would have a better testimony of that truth you already have.  I know that the Book of Mormon is true and it devestates me when people wont take a chance to learn more truth and find that satisfaction they’ve been looking for their whole lives.  I ask you to just try it, and take a bite for yourself; dont take my word for it, take Gods word for it if it is true.
