I am still plugging along and enjoying every minute of it. I am now on page 194.
President Marion G. Romney in 1960 said “By reading the Book of Mormon we will fill and refresh our minds with the constant flow of that ‘water’ which Jesus said would be in us—‘a well of water springing up into everlasting life.’ (John 4:14.) We must obtain a continuing supply of this water if we are to resist evil and retain the blessings of being born again. …
“If we would avoid adopting the evils of the world, we must pursue a course which will daily feed our minds with and call them back to the things of the Spirit. I know of no better way to do this than by reading the Book of Mormon.”

great job Patty!!!
Patty, we read the Book of Mormon during the month of January as a challenge for Relief Society. It was an amazing experience. Keep after it! Way to Go! Love the picture of you and Doug. You both look wonderful. Now that you are home alone, you ought to think about hitting the highway, heading east, and stopping off in Peoria. I would LOVE to see you! we do have a guest room...
Some day we would love to visit. If you are ever Corcoran way we have an extra room and would love to have you.
It is a great experience reading the Book of Mormon this way. Jessica, Leticia's daughter is also doing the challenge and she is a little ahead of me. I've got to get with it. I am so grateful that she has taken this challenge.
I have read the Book of Mormon about 5 times from cover to cover but the last 2 times I have appreciated it so much.
I remember JC Tinney saying that Barbabra would sleep with her scriptures held close to her heart, when she would sleep in her recliner. I have a better understanding of that now.
I also think that so much of what we read we can see in our lives the evidence of the spiritual strength and moral decay.
It makes holding on more dear.
