Book of Mormon Stories

This will make you chuckle:

We've been reading the Book of Mormon with our children, (for over a year now) and we're finally into the book of Alma. This has been a wonderful and trying experience for us...

Wonderful when our children ask us meaningful questions and we can expound on things of a spiritual nature. It's amazing to watch their testimonies grow and shine forth! I love how easily children grasp gospel principles.

Trying when we have to stop every 2 minutes to remind them to sit still, be quiet and just listen for one measely chapter! Trying when we have to nearly shout the scriptures over Mo's screaming. Trying when they slump down and ask if we're done yet.

Here's the chucke:

The other day Bekah asked me how much more we had to read in the Book of Mormon. I showed her, and then she went over to the other books of scriptures (Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine and Coveanants) we have sitting on a cabinet downstairs. She boldly declared, "So after the Book of Mormon, we'll read all of these...and then we'll be dead!"



Yes Bekah, at the rate we're going you might be right. I think we'll save the Old Testament for last.
