In September of 2007 our stake presidency asked us to begin reading the New Testament. Although our children are small, we decided to take up the challenge and give it a try. It took us until Easter to get through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - talk about timeliness!
Well, tonight, we finished the last two chapters of Revelations and we were all very excited to say - WE DID IT! We read the entire New Testament - WITH two young children - they helped read and they followed along.
Ironically, last Sunday a letter from our Stake Presidency was read, asking us to read Preach My Gospel, so we'll be starting right in on that. Nice timing!
It has been a special experience to spend time as a family each night reading together. We've been able to have some amazing gospel discussions, and we have grown to love and appreciate our Savior Jesus Christ as we've come to know Him together as a family.
What a blessing it has been. If you haven't read it for a while - I challenge you to start now - it will change your life.
