BOM Sleepover

 

Do you think you could read the Book of Mormon in one night?

Well, we did!

We had a big sleepover at my house this weekend and as a group we were able to read the entire Book of Mormon.  We read some together and some of it we split up into sections and silently read different parts.  It took us about 7 1/2 hours and at a little after midnight we completed the last of it.  I was so proud of all of these girls for coming and contributing to this.  It turned out to be a great experience and proved to be a great testimony builder for all of us that were there. 

I have to give Troy credit too, he was amazingly supportive.  He not only gave up his bed and house to a bunch of teenage girls and some leaders, but he also took my 3 kids and Rachelle’s 3 kids for about 5 hours.  He took the kids to town and let them go to Chuck E. Cheese and then over to Krispy Kreme.  He came in when we were somewhere in the middle of Alma to bring us some doughnuts.  Needless to say that was a hit.  Then he took our kids upstairs and had a big sleepover party with them.  I was so grateful for his help so that we were able to have this great experience.
