The Book of Mormon is the means by which those from all nations will be gathered into the church. It is the tool, given by Jesus Christ, for gathering scattered Israel.
This gathering is already coming to pass, as seen by the number of church members in Latin American countries. "Truly the people of Mexico and other Latin American countries are among the descendants of prophets. The Book of Mormon is their inheritance. Jesus Christ did minister unto their fathers."
In the Doctrine and Covenants, Christ told members of the church to "Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations." Christ is that light. "We offer the additional light of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ."
Invite others to "be one with us." Jesus Santos, now president of the Monterrey Mexico Temple, had to wait 12 years after he became aware of the church to be invited to be a part of it.
"So many years had been lost. If missionaries had just talked to him, if the mutual youth had just noticed a lonely teenager looking over the fence, if the missionaries in Monterrey had found him at home, his life would have been different during those 12 years."
The Book of Mormon "bears witness that God has once again begun to gather scattered Israel."
"Whom do you know that would respond to your invitation to read the Book of Mormon? Will you invite them?"
