Hope you all are enjoying these beautiful early summer days!! I know I am!
How is your Book of Mormon Challenge going?
I confess I got a little behind last week, but I have spent the last couple of days catching up. I have to say, I've read it before...a couple of times...but as I've been reading it now, during this challenge, I am really getting it! I am understanding the context of things that are happening, such as how the different groups of people left the Nephites, how they fell away from God and were persecuted by the Lamanites, and then because they turned their faith back to God, they were able to escape the Lamanites and return to the Nephites in the city of Zarahemla. There was a lot of things going on at that time in a lot of different places (if you pay attention to the dates at the bottom of the pages it helps!)--- I never realized that before! Before I struggled just to understand one verse and I didn't realize how everything tied together. Now, I am understanding the whole history, and it has been so much more fun to study and read!!
I am so grateful for this challenge, and I hope that you all keep reading even if you're like me and you don't understand everything....the more you read, the more you will understand and the closer you will get to our Heavenly Father!! I know this to be true!
So keep reading! No matter how behind you are, the important thing is you keep reading!
Happy Sunday!
Love,
Sister Koeven
