On November 23, 2014 we started reading the Book of Mormon a certain way (one verse each, explaining what it meant after we read it and trying to have a bit of discussion now and then; the years before that we tried several other different methods but this is the one we've stuck with since that date) and on December 24, 2018 we finished! All that time we read "regularly" (probably at least five times a week but seldom all seven days), for a year or two reading in the morning before Jason went to work, but for the last year or two at dinner time. It's fun to think of all the change in that time: when we started we had two six-year-olds, one four-year-old and no Jake. We went from emerging readers and a non reader to three proficient readers who are comfortable with the language of the scriptures and one who loves to parrot what we tell him to say. Some days were better than others, but we stuck with it and I'm proud of us!
