600 years ago. . .

My mom gave me a booklet called Closer to Christ in 40 days. I started reading 5 chapters a day and yesterday I finally finished reading 2 Nephi. I never realized how hard it was to read 2 Nephi, but I did it! I was trying to see how long the Nephites waited till Christ came to the Americas, of course the Book of Mormon says 600 years. To most people the number 600 is not a whole lot. As I thought about it I asked Daniel that if we went back 600 years, what year we would be in. . . 1410. The year 1410 to the year 2010 is a long time. When I was finally able to put it into perspective, I realized that it was a very, very long time. In some ways I see how some people would have lost their faith.I am glad that I have the gospel now and I am very happy. :)
