My goal for seminary this year is to write down quotes that I like from the scripures that we read. Because I make quote books for my personal progress projects, I thought, why not make a book of BoM quotes too? The reason I'm posting the quotes here is because I feel more motivated to do things when I'm doing it for someone else, so I'm doing this for you.
But first I thought I would share a BoM rap that I learned in my first year of girls camp, written by a wonderful woman named Sister Stalings. (Didn't want to post her name online but also wanted to give her credit <3)
Lehi teaches prophesy
People hate him, has to leave
Back twice for plates and wife
Travel, murmer, tree of life
Liahona, broken bow
To the promised land they go
Sons rebel, family fights
Nephites and the Lamanites
Olive tree, Enos prays
King Ben's tower, much to say
Evil Noah, Abinadi burns
Alma listens, hearts are turned
Alma Junior learns his lesson
Three day coma, sins confession
Mosiah's sons can't be harmed
Ammon chops off lots of arms
Anti-Lehi-Nephites driven
Bury weapons, sins forgiven
Evil Kingsmen, combinations
Amalikiah, warring nations
Moroni angered, rents his clothes
Title of Liberty, up it goes
Mom's of striplings do not cry
THOSE HOT YOUNG MEN AT WAR WON'T DIE!
Samuel, wall, arrows fly
Of Christ's Birth he prophesied
Day and night and day of sun
Birth of the Holy One
Gadianton robbers rise
Gathered Nephites all survive
Nations fall, and divide
Earthquakes, fire, wicked die
Mist of Darkness, waiting done
"This is my beloved son"
Generations come and go
Righteousness is all they know
Records to an eight year old
Mormon gathered plates of gold
Brother of Jared, boats need sight
Holy finger, rocks give light
Truth will come to all who pray
Nephites see their final day
WORD! (of God)
Isn't that just the best? I couldn't not share it, it's so dang cool. I hope you like it as well
<3 Elizabeth
