Why I want to be Mormon.

I have been an author for over 35 years and much of the work that I write goes unnoticed.  In today's world most people pay attention to the things they want to hear and read, not necessarily what they need to hear and know.  For much of the time I have written it has been about things that people need to know, like how to build faith, yet as an unknown and a "non-authority" my work has been unnoticed and very little read.  I do understand how Mormon felt in putting forth much effort to know that only future generations would profit from what he wrote.  

In the beginning getting published was an arduous task and few unknown authors got published.  Then came about the digital and online publishing which it still required a lot of knowledge of marketing and getting known.  I became a publisher and did much of my work for other people, always putting my work off, thinking that "someday" would come when I would be more known and my work would also be known.   An experience like that only makes you appreciate the difficult task that Mormon faced, with no publisher and writing to an audience who still did not exist.  Even as Joseph translated the book, he knew that it would take an enormous effort to make it well known.
