Book of Mormon Stories:  After becoming totally blind at the age of forty-two, Elizabeth F. Bates determined that she would not let her blindness prevent her from learning and doing all she could.  After losing her sight, she eared two bachelor's degrees and two master's degrees from the University of Utah and invented a code that allows the blind to compose music on a typewriter.

Eighteen years after completely losing her sight, she was reflecting on her love of the Book of Mormon and of the United States; capturing those feelings, she wrote the words and music to "Book of Mormon Stories."  Her simple and memorable song consisted of two verses that are often sung with accompanying hand gestures.

In 1988, the song was used throughout the Church for the Priary sacrament meeting presentation, themed on the Book of Mormon.  The program showcased six additional verses written by Nancy K. Daines Carter that detailed specific people from the Book of Mormon, including Alma, Abinadi, Ammon, the Stripling Warriors, and Samuel the Lamanite.  Sister Carter's additional verses culminate in the appearance of the Savior to the Nephites at the temple in Bountiful.  Her verses follow the original two-verse song in the Children's Songbook.
