When a friend suggested he move away from the "fairytales of the Bible" and religion altogether, David Boice decided to visit fifty-two churches in fifty-two weeks first. What started out as a small personal project turned into a YouTube channel, chronicling his stops. On his second round of that, he visited a congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for first time, in Madison, Wisconsin, and was not only introduced to the Book of Mormon, but experienced an embrace unlike any he had before.

Seeing Christ: a Blind Boy and a Missionary from Wuhan, China with Yangzi Jin and Conner Green
Yangzi Jin grew up in Wuhan, China, and after joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the United States as an exchange student, served a mission on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. One day, she received an assignment to give a Mandarin tour to a blind teenage boy, Conner Green, who had recently been adopted by a Utah family. Conner and Yangzi’s connection to their hometown and language fueled their friendship, and the seeds of testimony for Conner as he heard the gospel of Jesus Christ read to him one verse at a time.
Yangzi first read the Book of Mormon in October 2005 and was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 31, 2005.
Conner was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on September 13, 2014 and listened to Yangzi read the Book of Mormon to him through audio recordings in 2016.

The House of Israel in Mexico: Diana Angulo
Growing up in Mexico, Diana Angulo noticed how much of her country’s history seemed to point to the Book of Mormon and to Jesus Christ, who had appeared to the inhabitants of the Americas after his resurrection. Reading the book, she learned that she too was a part of the remnant of the House of Israel that Christ spoke of, and that identity guided her as a full-time missionary and in writing the lyrics to a song she went on to compose.

The Book Without a Name: Vincenzo di Francesca (1888-1966) with Tommaso Cardullo
Vincenzo di Francesca (1888-1966) was on his way to a pastor’s house one cold, winter morning of 1910 in New York City when he saw a book lying on a barrel of ashes, its leaves blowing in the wind. When he picked it up, he saw there was no frontispiece, and the book was unnamed. Flipping through it, he saw the names Mosiah, Lamanite, Isaiah, and others, and wondered what it could be. Vincenzo lived by the teachings of this book for twenty years in the face of ridicule, not knowing where it had come from, and spent another twenty trying to join the Church, experiencing what seemed like insurmountable obstacles to do so.
Vincenzo first read the Book of Mormon in 1910 in New York City, and was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on January 18, 1951 at Imerese, Italy.
