Lotus Flowers and the Book of Mormon

Beautiful Qishan

You're probably thinking what do Lotus Flowers and the Book of Mormon have in common aren't you... well. Nothing. Except that both are what I'm going to talk about today, haha :P

So I'm pretty used to the food here that I normally don't even notice when I eat anything different or weird anymore. But this week we went to a member's house to eat and at the end of the meal she pulled out lotus flowers. They were like, jarred I guess? I don't know how to describe it, but they tasted kind of like cranberries. They were pretty good, haha. So that's my Taiwan tidbit for the day.

Delicious Lotus Flower

This week as I've been reading the Book of Mormon I just realized again what an amazing book it is. Every time I read it I get more bits and pieces here and there. For those who don't know, the Book of Mormon is a record of a family who traveled to the America's at about 600 BC. Over the next thousand years it records about their posterity. Through their experiences and testimonies we learn of the reality of God and of His nature and why it matters in our lives. It's a really good book, full of awesome stories and the best part is that they're all true :D I know that this book is true and it will bless the lives of anyone who reads it. Go read it! Just take 5 minutes each day and flip it open, it's worth it!

Have an amazing week! Go eat some lotus flowers! And read the Book of Mormon!
