Here's another reason to "like" the Book of Mormon (at least on Facebook): check out this amazing shot shared by the Facebook page The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ on Friday--
The post is captioned:

Baptism is a key doctrine in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--and one worth enduring such cold for. LDS.org is clear on the importance of this ordinance:
Baptism by immersion in water by one having authority is the first saving ordinance of the gospel and is necessary for an individual to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to receive eternal salvation. All who seek eternal life must follow the example of the Savior by being baptized and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
