Visiting the Book of Mormon Video Set
By the Primary General Presidency

Not long ago, we visited one of the sets where a new Book of Mormon video was being filmed. We got to watch the scene where Jesus Christ visited with children one by one.
We watched as children touched the hands of the actor playing Jesus. He spoke to them in a kind, gentle way, just like Jesus would.
The children told us that because of their experience, their testimony of the Book of Mormon grew even stronger. Jesus did come to the Nephites. He did bless the children. The story is true.
You can know that too. Study the Book of Mormon. Watch the Book of Mormon videos. As you do, you can draw near to Jesus. You are dear to Him. And the Holy Ghost will help you feel the Savior’s love and peace.
The actor who played Jesus was kind and gentle.
