Angel Moroni

I'm starting the Book of Mormon over. I don't know exactly how I am going to approach it this time. Someone once suggested that I find a verse that speaks to me personally. I may do that.

For today, I read the cover pages and the testimonies of the three witnesses and then the testimony of the eight witnesses. I know I've been told this before, but I was impressed at the difference between the two testimonies - mainly that the angel Moroni was the one who showed the plates to the three witnesses, whereas the eleven were shown them by Joseph Smith.

I found it quite interesting that not a lot of hoopla was shown at the miracle of an angel appearing to the three witnesses. To me, that is as miraculous as the fact that they saw the gold plates. What an experience!

So does it speak to me personally? Well, I guess if there is a need and the Lord sees fit, I too could see an angel. Until then, carry on and be a worthy handmaiden of the Lord that he might use me for whatever purpose he sees fit. That works for me.
