Open Up The Scriptures

So I was thinking of this at the reunion but I didn't tell everyone about it. Every individual family should have received a cool scripture case from me that will fit a blue copy of the Book of Mormon. They all look pretty cool. I mean they are from Guatemala. Now with these I had a smashing idea. I know that each family works to read the Book of Mormon together. It can be tricky to get the family together to read or to be motivated to do so on a daily basis. I have a awesome plan for the family so that we can all read the
Book of Mormon. Using the the cool case with a blue copy of the Book of Mormon some member your family can have that copy each day and it will be fun to be able to have a turn with the cool case. That day maybe that person can mark their favorite scripture or say what they liked or can conduct scriptures or can read first or something creative like that.

Anyway I don't know where everyone is at in the Book of Mormon, but I was thinking as a Christmas present to the Savior we could develop a better relationship with Him and come to better understand His words. I know this Christmas is really close. So I was thinking that starting now where you are or you can start after you finish if you are close to being done we could all read the Book of Mormon before next Christmas as a family. From today there is 492 days until next Christmas so reading 1.08 pages a day will get you done by Christmas. If you need help coming up with a plan to read let me know.

Obviously parents you receive revelation for your families and I am not trying to supersede that in any way.

I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it really does testify of Christ. The spirit it will bring into our homes will help us as a family.

Let me know what y'all think

Love
John

Dinnner Conversation

M: "I'm a little nervous to get married."
Mom, "Why?"
M: "Because I don't want to kiss on the lips."
Mom, "You don't have to kiss on the lips to get married."
C, "Then how are you married if you don't kiss?"
Mom, "Well the gentleman in the temple that is marrying you, asks you if you want to be married, and you say yes.  And then he asks the man you picked and he says yes.  Then he says you can kiss, but you don't have too.
C, "OOOOHHH, YOU DON"T HAVE TO KISS TO BE MARRIED!"
Mom, "Nope."
M, "Okay you don't have to kiss to get married."
Mom, "Yep."
