SCRIPTURE STUDY
7 Short Videos to Kick Off Your Book of Mormon Come Follow Me Study
The Come Follow Me curriculum for this year is covering the Book of Mormon. Fortunately, Book of Mormon Central has produced a massive amount of content that can help individuals dive deeper into the Book of Mormon. This content includes over 500 videos which are featured on our YouTube channel and included in our scripture app called ScripturePlus.
This week we are studying the introductory pages to the Book of Mormon. Among all the amazing resources out there, we have seven videos to help you and your family get started.
Title Page
We teamed up with artist Katie Payne to create a richly illustrated and beautifully animated video of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. It gives an overview of the plates from which the book was translated, showing how they were handed down from Mormon to his son Moroni and eventually to Joseph Smith. The wording of the video’s narration comes mainly from the Book of Mormon’s Title Page.
Introduction
This video takes the text of the Introduction of the Book of Mormon and brings it to life with relevant images and video animation. It is perfect for sharing with family members or those who are just beginning to learn about the Book of Mormon.
Joseph Smith Testimony
Another video based on portions of the text from the Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Come Follow Me Lesson Videos
We have begun a new video series with BYU instructors Taylor Halverson and Tyler Griffin. In these two videos, they review the Title Page, Introduction, and the testimonies of the Three and Eight Witnesses.
Evidence Videos
Throughout the last few years, Book of Mormon Central has created several evidence videos on our second YouTube channel, called BMC Studios. The following two videos focus on the plates of the Book of Mormon and their miraculous translation.
There isn't a lot of history from the Middle Ages. The main stories of people's lives during those years comes from anyone who had royalty or nobility lines. One of Wayne's ancestral lines, the Harrington's, have interesting stories. This is the only ancestral line we have information for back to the 1100's. Most other lines begin in the 1500's or 1600's. About 1150, a century after the Norman conquest, (William the Conqueror from France) Osulf appeared in history, owning the Manor of Flemingby. He was undoubtedly of Norman ancestry since his descendants used the ancient Norman shield in their coat of arms. Large land holdings such as his were held by the Norman conquerors and their descendants, usually given to them by William The Conqueror, for help in battle. Often large manors were acquired by men without holdings, when they married a lady who inherited lands and manors. Robert, Osulf’s...
At this point in time, I believe President Nelson's talk has more significance than ever before. (Notes about it below!) Let's be joyful, and know that our Heavenly Father will continue to guide us, and help us during whatever stressful times are ahead. I'm going to northern Utah today with my sister Vina, to see our beloved sister Mavis, for the weekend and go to Mavis's grandson's wedding. Aren't family wonderful! ! ! We have been very close as sisters, and have 3 way conversations often. Below are pictures of us younger. You can probably tell which are which, Vina on the left, Mavis in the center, and me on the right in the top one. I know we have a picture taken in the last few years with my white hair, and Vina's light also, but I couldn't find it quickly. I'll take some this weekend! As we were growing up we sang trios in many places! A couple of nights ago I had a call from a lady I ha...

(From the New Era) Over the years our General Authorities have recounted stories that have touched the hearts of their listeners and changed behavior.
