Letters From The Field – Elder Tanner Bennett’s Mission Blog - Nanzi this week

Elder Tanner Bennett was a guest on a previous episode of LDS MissionCast. He agreed to share his mission letters with the readers of our blog. So each week we will bring a letter from his mission. We will interview him at the conclusion of his mission as well. So stay tuned and stay connected to Tanner’s story each week on the LDS MissionCast Blog!

Hello my wonderful friends and family!

It has been another week already and that scares me. Time is moving faster than ever before and that is good but the work is definitely very slow. That’s okay, we are doing with Nanzi what we need to.

I don’t have very much to say this week simply because we haven’t had anything happen worth writing about. I will however take this opportunity to share with you all my testimony of the Book of Mormon.

As I have been studying the bible more earnestly, especially the teachings of the New testament, I have come to a conclusion. I would not be satisfied with the bible alone. The bible in its excellent form teaches us of Christ, of his life, his atonement, but I feel doesn’t answer the questions of the soul about what happened before and what comes after. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and for its teachings. I have studied them and am studying them still and from earnest prayer have received my answer about it’s divine origins and it’s prophet translator/revelator. This holy volume provides some of the greatest solace, some of the most honest understanding and I know that as we honestly seek to “feast” upon its words, we will know all things what we should do (2 Nephi 32:3-4).

I love the book of Mormon and I DEEPLY encourage us all to take seriously the challenge our Prophet has issued us to read it entirely before the New Year. I promise as you do you will come to a greater understand of its divinity, it’s unique message and the incredible hope it provides us all in helping us understand Jesus Christ and his atonement.

I love you all,

Until next week!
