Pondering

Once again I read through 3 Nephi and am amazed and awed with the event of the Savior's visit to the Nephites and how that experience touched their lives and those that read about it. It was such a incredible experience. You can tell it deeply changed their lives because we read in Fourth Nephi, after the Savior leaves and the disciples go about all the lands teaching and baptizing, "the people were ALL converted unto the Lord." Then for the next 23 verses and throughout two hundred years later "there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people." I hope at some time we might be able to read more about what took place during those 200 years. What did Nephi and his son Amos and Amos' son, Amos write about? I hope we can read about how these people lived and how they loved each other. It's sad that we only get 23 verses to describe this, but I can imagin it was like spending every day in the temple, the peace felt there in the joy of love and service.
And now on to the saddest part of the Book of Mormon . . . . . . . . . . . . .sigh. . . . . . .
