When Elder James O. Fantone was a teenager preparing to serve a mission, his bishop invited him to read the Book of Mormon before going to service. Elder Fantone had studied the Book of Mormon in seminary, learning doctrines and scriptures.
However, reading it daily and cover to cover became a foundational experience for him as his testimony deepened. And that study continued as he served as a full-time missionary in his native Philippines.
“I fell in love with the Book of Mormon as a young missionary, and it truly is another testament of Jesus Christ,” he said, noting that it has helped him learn about the Savior throughout his life. “Every time we read the Book of Mormon, it will help us understand the Lord’s Atonement.”
