Elder Kim B. Clark, General Authority Seventy and commissioner of Church Education, and Sister Sue Clark participate in Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Temple Square on May 7, 2017.  Elder Clark shared the story of the lost 116 pages of the Book of Mormon. He began translating the Book of Mormon in February of 1828 with Emma, who was pregnant their first child, as his scribe. After translating the first 116 pages he was reprimanded for his repeated requests to allow Martin Harris to take the manuscript," Elder Clark said. He had to give the plates and interpreters back to Moroni.  As he continued to repent, he received the plates and interpreters from Moroni again. With the help of Oliver Cowdery, Joseph was able to complete the translation of the Book of Mormon.

When you face trials, draw on the spiritual experiences and resources you already have to find increased faith and trust in Jesus Christ, The Lord is working in your life right now. He is out in front of you, working to open doors, prepare other people to help you, and open the way before you.  The Book of Mormon can be a revelatory experience for everyone, Elder Clark said. "If your heart is open as you read and pray about the Book of Mormon, the Holy Ghost will manifest the truth of it unto you. You will know that the Lord Jesus Christ is your Savior and Redeemer and that Joseph Smith is the prophet of the Restoration,
