We Finished!!!

We started reading the Book of Mormon last year with the kids. We made sure that no matter where we were in the world that we had the base of reading as a stable way of teaching and talking with our kids about gospel principles. Even when we are apart for the small time we are, I still continue to read with the kids every night and Trent does his reading too, keeping on the same spot as us so when we get back together neither one of us has to jump ahead or wait. It has been so amazing to see the love of the BOM grow in each one of our children! They ask questions and it prompts discussions. They are always the ones to remind us every night to read. It has been a very positive experience for all of us. We just finished reading it cover to cover, including the D&C and Pearl of Great Price!!! It is such an accomplishment, challenging and yet so rewarding at the same time. And now we are started over...there is always something new to learn each time you read it and testimonies grow everytime the spirit testifies of its truthfullness! I love the scriptures, but have found a new love of reading them with my children!
