Project day 2

4.      Here are a few more things I noticed during my project.

Angels - 2 Nephi 32:3

This is the familiar scripture that we all know and love that tell us how Angels communicate with us. I believe in angels, and am fascinated by the idea that there are spirits around us guiding us, and carrying out God’s plan. As it turns out the word “angel” is used a total of 662 times in the standard works.

This is amazing! If angels were unimportant, or not real, then they surely wouldn’t be in the scriptures as much as they are. Although I myself have not had an encounter with an angel, I have studied very intently the accounts of prophets, specifically Joseph Smith, and I testify that angels are real. They are around us, and they are a witness that Heavenly Father loves all of his children.

5.       Jacob 1:2

The word precious is mentioned 54 times in the Book of Mormon. 21 of those are in 1 Nephi. It is only mentioned 5 times in the Book of Jacob. It is interesting that Nephi uses the word so much and that Jacob doesn’t. Again, this is a testimony builder that many people wrote the Book of Mormon.
