Tonight we started reading about the Liahona for our family scripture study. Josh's dad has one so Josh decided to borrow it to make our scripture study a little more exciting. He also had the great idea of pulling out his compass and the scriptures and asked the girls what all of them had in common. They seemed to comprehend the similarities quite well. It has been really fun to delve into the Book of Mormon with the girls this year. We've been reading out of the Old and New Testaments over the last couple of years to keep in line with the Gospel Doctrine curriculum, but now that we're in the Book of Mormon, we've gotten a lot more participation from the girls. Not only are they more familiar with the stories, the ideas and concepts seem to make much more sense to them too. We're so lucky to have such an amazing book of scripture. Ashlyn even reads a verse every night and she repeats every single word, not just the last word of the phrase like most kids her age.
