Weekly Project

For my project today, Julius and I watched a movie called Journey of Faith. A couple of weeks ago I watched the second video which was about the journey to the Americas. I really enjoyed this movie because it set up the basis for the whole Book of Mormon. It described in detail the journey of Nephi and his family and the struggles that they went through to follow God's commandments. I really enjoyed looking at the places that they traveled to and how impressive their journey really was. It builds my testimony of the Book of Mormon when I can see exactly where they were and what they were going through as I read it.
Julius and I discussed the movie and he shared with me his thoughts. He told me how it strengthened his testimony about God's power and how powerful faith really is. Also, he told me that it opened his eyes to how terrible this trip really was and that they did it because of their strong faith in their Heavenly Father.
One point that we both discussed was how the video gave strong proof that Joseph Smith could not have made up the Book of Mormon. He had no knowledge of the places that Nephi and his family traveled and no knowledge of the land of Arabia. It is such a testimony builder to know that God provided a way for Nephi to travel safely and for his record of the journey was provided for us in these days. It is so amazing to know that God has provided us with all of these wonderful things and that they were divinely inspired for us at this time.
