There are so many things I could comment on from Moroni chapter 10 alone, but tonight I will choose just one. I am struck by the peace Moroni obviously feels as he comes to the end of his mission on earth - knowing he has done his duty, able to face death without fear. In fact he looks forward to "go to rest in the paradise of God." In a small way I felt similar feelings peace when I finished my mission in Germany. I still remember the last day of my mission in Dortmund, feeling very emotional while reading in 3rd Nephi about the savior's visit. I knew that wonderful experience was coming to a close, but I felt good about how I had served and it was an awesome feeling. Similarly, Moroni seemed to feel that but to an even greater extent as he wrote his last words in the Book of Mormon.
It's my hope that all of us can live our lives in such a way that when we come to the close of our missions here on earth and at some time join Moroni "before the pleasing bar of the Great Jehovah" that we will hear Him say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

You have been such a great inspiration to all of us in this scripture challenge, I will finish this week and it has been a wonderful experience for me also. I think our family has drawn closer to each other and closer to Heavenly Father. I have loved reading everyone's comments and insights!
