I have been doing an in depth study of the Book of Mormon this year while doing the Come Follow Me lessons. One thing I want to do was explore the promised blessings of studying the BOM! It has been an incredible experience, studying the words of our prophets and apostles, while reading the scriptures that they are referring to!
I have attached a list of the blessings that I came up with, and I know there are more that I can add as I further my study.
I invite you all to take a look for yourself and share with me if you come up with any others!
