Day 6.
Both my favorite picture and my favorite outfit thus far.
A graduate student in literature who does a lot of translation work on the side bore his testimony in church today. He spoke about several basic doctrines that he knows to be true but focused mainly on The Book of Mormon. His thoughts were simple, boiling down to the following:
The Book of Mormon was translated by revelation, so every word in it is there because God essentially put it there. It is such a powerful witness of Christ because it was divinely designed to be so. Joseph Smith was right: from a translator’s point of view, it literally is the most correct book on the face of the earth.
It was a perspective I’d never considered. Each word is there because God wanted it there. Perhaps it’s time to revisit the BoM with that in mind.

Love it! You leave me almost wanting short bangs again. Almost.
"…it literally is the most correct book on the face of the earth." Never quite thought of it that way, but it will be what I think every time I pick up my scriptures from here on out.
Why do every time I read "literally…" I do it in a Rob Lowe voice.
Cute as ever my love.
Lydia: I love my bangs but I respect the "almost." I consider growing them out on a fortnightly basis.
David: You are literally my favorite person ever.
