Journals

Jacob 4:3-4

3 Now in this thing we do rejoice; and we labor diligently to engraven these words upon plates, hoping that our beloved brethren and our children will receive them with thankful hearts, and look upon them that they may learn with joy and not with sorrow, neither with contempt, concerning their first parents.

4 For, for this intent have we written these things, that they may know that we knew of Christ, and we had a hope of his glory many hundred years before his coming; and not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory, but also all the holy prophets which were before us.

Throughout the scriptures, we read about how important it is to keep a record, so that our children will know what we believe. They will not question if we had a testimony of Jesus Christ because they can read our own words. As I have been able to study my scriptures more, it has become more apparent to me that I need to make it more of a priority to journal about my life. I hope we are all able to take the time to write down our own life stories!

Love, Terri
