About bonniesimone

My name is Bonnie Hamilton. I'm wife, mother of 7 children and 26 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren! I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have a testimony of its truthfulness and that it is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I have a great love for the Book of Mormon. I have read and studied it for many years. I know of its truthfulness. My blog, witnessofchristblog@wordpress.com is to share that testimony with others. Most of my posts will be on how the Book of Mormon is an additional witness of Jesus Christ, a companion to the Bible. I invite open and respectful comments and questions on my blog. If I don't know the answer to question, I will research it until I can give a satisfactory answer.
