I'm slowly reading. When we started the family challenge, I was actually still doing a previous challenge of reading the Book of Mormon in 90 days which turned into the 6 month challenge which turned into the...Well you get the picture. I have find it interesting that places where I have marked in the scriptures, either underlining, highlighting or making a note either have a deeper meaning to me or I have no idea why I made that notation. I will admit though that I am a slow learner or let me say, it takes repeated lessons or reading for me to grasp the what is being said in the scriptures. I'll give an example: way back in 1st Nephi regarding the ark. I was talking to Frances one day and I asked her (and not to laugh) if I was correct that there was two arks - Noah's and Lehi's. She did kinda laugh and said "Yes Mom, there were two. Noah's saved the people from the flood and Lehi's took the people to Bountiful". My response was "Yea! I got it!
Seriously though, I am reading, I love it and one day I will perhaps, no guarantees, be able to quote a scripture.
I hope everyone else is still in the challenge.
Love,
Jennifer
Thanks for the post Aunt Jennifer! I am still reading too. I am also on the slow boat. I just got to Mosiah because I read about 10 pages last night. Micah has been gone for the last few weeks so by the end of the night I'm pretty brain dead and just want to veg. I'm glad to have this challenge to keep me going!
