Reading the Book of Mormon

Last night, I gave Michael and Naomi each their own copy of The Book of Mormon. They are reading with the parent suggested goal of finishing before they are baptized. I think Mo is a little young, because she whipped right through words I know she can't read, but she wanted to start if Michael was starting.

Michael on the other hand, worked very hard and read the introduction to 1 Nephi 1 last night. This morning he was a bit overwhelmed by the first verse, understandably. Considering that he is reading words like - mother, book and little - it is a long verse. I told him to just read as much as he was up to and if it takes three days to read that first verse, it is ok. Big journeys start with small steps...

...or in some cases, they start with lighthearted little jumps
and you start over later :)
