2 Nephi 10

I am so thankful for my calling in Young Women's for many reasons.  First off I love the girls.  They are so wonderful and they truly are inspiring me to be better in all aspects of my life.  I want to be the best mom possible and make our home a "heaven on earth".  I want to be a better daughter to our Heavenly Father.  Sometimes we just think of him as being powerful and all-knowing (which he is), but not only that, he is our Father!  We are literally His daughters!  We have a duty and responsibility to him just like we do to our fathers here on Earth.  I've definitely been motivated to read the Book of Mormon to strengthen my testimony in the gosple.  I would say "read it again" but I have never read it cover to cover.  How sad is that?  I have read and heard all of the stories but I have never started and finished.  

ANYWAYS!  I am in 2 Nephi 10 and I have fallen in love with the scriptures.  I'm and avid reader and I completely delve into my books and this one is no different in that way.  I feel invested in these prophets like I never have before and it is such a blessing to me.  I have been writing down thoughts throughout my reading and I might blog those so that the boys can read "along with me" even when I am gone someday.  2 Nephi 10:3-4 hit me like a semi-truck.  I never realized that if Christ had gone anywhere other than to the Jews, the People of Israel he wouldn't have been crucified.  Any other people on Earth would have known that this was their Savior by all of the mighty miracles He performed.  

This brought up a ton of questions for me.  If Christ came to America today would he be welcomed?  Would the majority of people believe in Him or would they be like those who crucified Him?  It makes me sad to realize that I truly don't know.  I know for a fact that I would know Him.  I feel in my heart that I would recognize his face and I know that the Spirit would help me know the truth.  I would challenge anyone who reads it to think about it.  Would you recognize him?
