B of M

Together as Young Women & Leaders, we all read the Book of Mormon...in 2 DAYS!The reading began @ 8:oo a.m. and ended the next day @ 9:15 p.m. It was truly a spiritual experience. The leaders thought it would be a great idea, since school is on its way. Every single person who attended, had finished, with big smiles on their faces. When the night was coming on, reading got even harder to concentrate on, for we were all really tired. But we pushed through, and it was worth it!

On one of the breaks, it was dark out side, so, me & my close friend Alihah, sneaked out side. Most of the Young Women were down in the basement (at my house). Our plan, was to go, and bang on the windows to scare them. But...two laurels went out side where they could see us if we went to the window,so the plan changed. I decided for us to jump out at them, and say boo. Alihah thought differently. She decided, to growl. So she did, and it scared the laurels completly! They ran back inside screaming, and told all of the other gir ls what they heard. Me & Alihah raced back inside, and pretended to be scared also. But we couldn't handle it, so we started to laugh out loud! It was so funny! The secret went out, and they all knew it was us.

To be able to read the Book of Mormon, cover to cover, is amazing by itself. But to do it in 2 days, is amazing! My dad really wanted to do it with the Young Men, but all the g irls didn't think that would work out well. Even some of the Beehives (not including me) wanted to get away, and played in a corner in a far off room with toys. It was hard, but we made it!
