Day 1

I woke up at 5:15 am this morning.

I will share my schedule either in a few days or after the first 30 days are over.

I read Matt. 1 and here are the thoughts/impressions I had.
- Why was Christ born the way he was?
- - So Mary would be pure, because He was, is, and needed to be pure
- - He is the First and the Last. He literally was the first to be born to the virgin Mary.
- - There was no other way for Christ to be born that way if He was the son of God

I then read the Introduction to a book I love and cherish like the Bible and here are the thoughts/impressions I had.
- Don't judge me on my mistakes. God is perfect, I'm not.
- The book I am talking about starts in 600 BC with a prophet named Nephi. His father, Lehi, is warned by God to leave Jerusalem because it is going to be destroyed. They leave and eventually come to Central America. They keeps records of God's dealings with them. These records are kept until about 450 AD when all the people eventually become wicked and destroy all the righteous. Those that remain are the beginning of the American Indians.
- This book doesn't take away from the Bible, it absolutely adds to it. As does the Bible add to this book.
- Think about it this way. If I had two children, hey I do, I would talk to both of them, right? Even if they lived in two different places, I would still want to stay in touch with them. So, we are God's children. There were people in Jerusalem that He was talking to, or trying to, and there were people here in Central America that He was talking to also.
- The best part, I feel is 3 Nephi 11, when Christ comes to visit the people in Central America after He was resurected.
- This book, said by the prophet who translated it, Joseph Smith, "[is] the most correct of any book on earth."
- I would like to invite you to read this amazing book. I know it is true and along with the Bible will help you and me become a better person. God is in the Bible and He is in this book. I know with all my heart that The Book of Mormon is true!

I had a few minutes, so I read 1 Nephi 1:1 and here are the thoughts/impressions I had.
- This is going to be my motto.
"I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days."
