I finally finished a project I've been working on for a while now. I've gone through the entire German translation of the Book of Mormon and counted all of the references to the Savior I could find. I counted everything: Symbols, pronouns, everything I could think of. I've been working on it off and on, which is why it's taken a while. Anyway, it's done now :D
Keep in mind that I did it in German, and the German language uses a few more pronouns than english does, so there might be a few more that I counted that aren't in the english Book of Mormon. I should also mention that there were some points in the Book of Mormon where it was a little fuzzy as to whether they were referring to the Savior, or to Heavenly Father, so I just used my best judgment. Also keep in mind that there may have been some symbols that I didn't pick up on because of my spiritual immaturity.
