First Reading

We are just so proud of our little Maddie!  Last week, a couple of days before school let out, we were all reading in our front room, and Maddie closed her Book of Mormon and announced that she had finished!  She has been reading at least a chapter just about every week-day since August, and a couple of weeks ago she announced her goal to finish before school let out for the summer.


 It's been fun to answer her questions, to see what she picks up on and shares with us, and to watch  her testimony grow! It's always amazing to feel how reading from the Book of Mormon sets me up for the day, but it's even more amazing to see the difference it makes in the lives of my children.  Among other things, their attitudes are better, they get along with each other, they're more willing to help and they're happy! There really is a power in that book.
