I was kind of dragging my feet to start Come Follow Me reading this year—in the last few years we have been challenged to speed-read the Boom of Mormon several times. Even though I was blessed for doing that reading, I had also started feeling tired and pressured every time I read—“gotta get my ten pages in today to stay on track.” As I started reading, I realized this time we get a whole year to savor The Book Of Mormon. I can read it slowly and dig deep and have time to think about what I’m reading. I’m very happy about that right now!

I have 2 main study goals.

One is to look for what I can learn about the Priesthood because Pres. Nelson encouraged us women to do so in conference last October.

Two is to take notice of when what I’m reading is building one of the purposes states in the title page— Showing the great things the Lord has done, Teaching the covenants, and Testifying of Jesus Christ.

My favorite verse this week is 1Nephi 4:2 “Let us go up. Let us be strong like unto Moses…”
I think to myself, “Let us be strong like unto Nephi.”

I read it to the kids, and the Scooter Pies busted up laughing and kept repeating “Let us be strong like lettuce.”
