I think it’s wisdom to carefully listen and consider counsel from faithful 90 year old women like Sister Stout.

I would like someone to tell me this: Since the Book of Mormon plates were written in reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics, where one little glyph can represent an entire phrase, is it possible that "it came to pass" was written with a single small, easy to engrave glyph and hence was a staple of literary expression in that language, especially when engraving the words on metal plates?

Now that I am in my 91st year, I cn look back and see ( and feel) one great " and it came to pass". After reading your fine explanation, I am more grateful than ever to know each passage was God sanctified. It was His plan for me all along the way. It opens a new perspective of awe and thanksgiving too. Thank you!
