Day 159

After listening to Conference, Paul and I have decided to re-read the Book of Mormon on our own. We've made a goal to finish it by the end of the year. That only gives us three months, but when I think of Parley P. Pratt reading it non-stop all day and all night, then it helps me realize it is a very doable goal. This morning I read the first chapter of the 1st Book of Nephi. I only had time before work to read the first chapter. But already I can tell that this will be a good thing to do. We'll both have to read an average of 2-3 chapters a day, which means we'll both have to split it up to read morning and nights. But I think of any goal to set right now, this is a good one. I kept feeling like this is something I should pick up to do again while listening to conference all weekend. There were many powerful testimonies of the Book of Mormon, and I knew that I should continue to read it on my own over and over again, because it is a book made for today. It will guide me and comfort me throughout my life. It is the greatest gift.
