Studying for my Book of Mormon test and reading the Student Manual, I came across this quote by Elder L. Tom Perry describing how Moroni must have felt writing the record after just seeing his people and his father destroyed:
"All he has is the faith that the Lord will preserve him long enough to complete the record and that someday it will be found by one chosen of the Lord. He realizes that the record will be a voice of warning to future generations of what occurs when nations like his own turn away from the teachings of the Lord. It is from the depths of his heart that Moroni cries out to those who will eventually receive the record. He wants to spare those who read his account the heartache and misery which comes from disobedience."
Reading this has solidified my testimony of the truth of the Book of Mormon even more. This glorious book was written for us and is for our benefit. Therefore, we must read and study its' teachings!
