God’s Amazing Universe
Did you know?

The sunsets on Mars are blue.

Earth is spinning at a rate of 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 kph)! We don’t feel it because we are moving with it.

Scripture Power
Recently my dad was reading the Book of Mormon to my family. When we read 2 Nephi 31:20, Dad explained that it was one of his favorite scriptures. He said that it explains the whole plan of salvation. He read the scripture again, and I could really feel the Spirit say it was true. He said if we ever needed a reminder of how to return to our Heavenly Father, then we could read this scripture.
