BoM challenge for the Silverdale Ward youth
It's been a pretty awesome experience so far. We are reading the BoM daily anyway, so instead of starting with the beginning, we are just starting with where we were reading as a family and we'll get it done backwards ;) Saria has been asked to read the entire BoM by the end of the year and highlight references of God (The Lord, Christ, etc) red, and where it is Christ's spoken words, highlight in blue. This is words that He not only spoke to prophets, but the relay of messages from the prophets to the people. I have learned a lot in doing this, not just spiritually but that would be a good place to start. I never really LOOKED for these things in the scriptures before, and its amazing just how often the Lord is referred to and it's just as amazing when I recognize His spoken word. Saria is really enjoying this project and has even participated in reading the verses with us. I know she can't possibly understand what she reads, because half the time I don't, but she can read these really BIG words that a typical 7 year old wouldn't really be able to do. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we do read scriptures and they are full of these big words, but it just amazes me everytime she flies through a verse.
