WE DID IT!!

We finished the Book of Mormon today!! It was close. Bailee hasn't read much at school, because of the comments from other students. But she read today at school and past me. She finished around 4pm and I finished about 30 or 40 minutes later. I would like to blame it on kids not leaving me alone. But that's not true. Bailee is actually a very fast reader. It surprised all of us. Brian was able to finish tonight. He wanted to push through it and finish days ago, but he wanted to keep it competitive for the rest of us. Thanks Bri! Karlee lost steam, she is in Alma 30. Her new goal is to have it finished the first time before Brian finishes it the second time. She got a twinkle in her eye again. I know she can do it!

Finishing it in a couple of weeks is very cool. But the best part was reading it as a family and praying together to know of it's truthfulness, as a family. I received a confirmation, once again, that the Book of Mormon is true! We all did!
