"When you know that the Book of Mormon
is true, you know that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the Church of
Jesus Christ to the earth. You know that Joseph Smith saw the Father and the
Son. You know that there is only one faith and one valid baptism. You know that
a prophet of God lives on the earth today and that he has all the keys of the
priesthood and the right to exercise them, as Peter did anciently. You know that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the only name whereby you can receive salvation.
You know that God the Father lives and that He loves us. You know that His plan
of salvation is perfect, and you have the desire to perform ordinances, live the
commandments, and endure to the end.
"I feel sad when someone who has been given the Book of Mormon and had these things explained to him still refuses to read it. I feel sad that some people allow themselves to be influenced by others, refuse to investigate the book, and set it aside as something without worth, never participating in the spiritual banquet it offers. To me, this is incomprehensible. It is as if a son or a daughter, separated from a loving father, refused to read a letter from him without even opening the envelope. Those who make such a choice are like spoiled children who refuse to even taste the meal tenderly prepared for them by their loving mother." - Marcos A. Aidukaitis, "Because My Father Read The Book of Mormon," General Conference, October 2008
