"Please read another one, Mommy!"

Lady Slipper,

Thank you for your example.  This morning you worked hard on your morning jobs and were especially excited when we started reading the scripture stories together.  We have been reading the Children’s Book if Mormon Stories in order and read about Alma teaching people the message God sent the people through the prophet Abinadi.  (You have many of these memorized from all the times you have watched the videos. It us fun to read it together this time through)

When we finished you asked me to please read another story from the Children’s Doctrine and Covenants Stories book.  So we did.
Then you begged several times for another story and had to wait while we finished our breakfast and kitchen clean up. 

I was so happy that you wanted to read another one so much.  You helped finish the kitchen and got all ready for school, then we were finally able to read another one. 

We read about Joseph Smith when he was 14 years old.  You had some really good questions.  "How can we belong to the true church if Jesus said they were all wrong?"  You were excited that Joseph Smith was able to help Jesus bring the true church back to the earth again.

I love you!
Thank you for asking me to read another one!

love,

Mom
