I had a few phone calls from dear ones wanting "my" bookmark version. I had originally seen it on Sugardoodle HERE. I'm not aware of an archery range nearby AND my family LOVES Olive Garden, so I had to tweak our activities a little AND I tweaked the fonts AND I added a header AND I tweaked some of the clipart.... Anything to keep us reading along.... (If you want a copy I can email you a jpeg version that has 3 bookmarks on a page, just let me know) The original version can be found in that above link.

We called it a Read-a-thon because it was a marathon reading of the Book of Mormon: 531 pages in 23 hours and 59 minutes. There were 24 of us who were there for basically the whole time (a couple had to leave for basketball practice, but they came back when it was over) and three more who could only come for one day. They were praiseworthy days. (The apostle Paul would have approved.) After doing my research, I discovered that reading 24 hours in a row wasn't the best way to accomplish the goal. Not only am I not a big fan of sleepovers (I don't even think the Church allows them anymore), but reading through the night means people are sleeping through too much of the book. Our hours were 8 am-8 pm, Friday, January 2nd and Saturday, January 3rd. It was before school was back in session, but after most people were home from Christmas trips. We had almost all of our youth attend, which, admittedly, isn't a giant group, but I was thrilled with the turnout. The turnout was so good, in fact, that I feel really bad for the small handful of kids who missed out. I've already had requests that we make it an annual event, so maybe they will show up next year. I told the youth to wear comfortable clothing and to bring yoga mats, sleeping pads, pillows and blankets--whatever they would need to make the hard floor bearable. As it was, the couches and chairs from the foyer were dragged in after only one hour! I did make the stipulation that only siblings could share a blanket and no one could wear pajamas. I prepared and prepared and finally went to sleep at about 11 o'clock the night before the event. I usually don't wake up on my own if I have to get up early. I needed to be up by 6 to get showered,younger kids ready to go to the grandparent's house for the night and to the church for final preparations. I awoke in a panic, realizing I had forgotten to set my alarm. It may seem lucky, but when I saw the time, 5:58 am, I knew that the Lord wanted the event to happen. Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives! We read in the gym because I wanted the kids to experience this together. I'd heard of other youth groups meeting separately, boys at one house, girls at another, but I thought it was worth the discomfort of the hard floor to be together. The being together turned out to be one of the very best parts of the read-a-thon. The unity of our group was mightily fortified. The gym was decorated simply, with every Book of Mormon story depiction I could find. I raided my own supply and that of the library and tacked them to the walls. At different times during the two days, I saw young people staring at a picture, with new eyes, methinks. I posted signs on the doors of the gym since our church building hosts regular visitors, meetings, and worshipers. This is what I posted: I emphasized paper scriptures for fewer distractions and only had to confiscate one phone. Everyone was generally compliant with the no electronics rule. There were long tables with butcher paper at one end of the gym for meals. On one wall was a giant standard that my husband drew up for us. Every time we finished a book (Nephi, Mosiah, Alma, etc.), we gave up a giant cheer, then marked off the books on our chart. It proved to be an motivating progress report. On the second day, we began adding quotes, scriptures, and references to the poster as well. The actual reading was done several ways. We listened to the downloaded audio version about 75% of the time because we could listen to it fast. 1.7x was about as fast as we could go, I thought 1.5x was optimal. I've heard other groups listened to it at 2x speed, but we felt that was too fast and made it hard to focus on anything. It took some getting used to since there was no time for pondering, questions or discussion. That is a different type of study for a different time. All ways have good effects. The other 25% of the time, we either took turns reading (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 verses each, we'd switch it up) round robin style or had one person read a couple of chapters to us. A few parents came for 30 minutes here, an hour or two there. We had them read when they came. It was nice to have variation. I'm not great at cute stuff, so there was no twine, scrapbook paper, origami or centerpieces. If you do that kind of thing well, there are lots of ideas out there. For my sanity, I went simple on the handouts. Each reader got a small notebook, a scripture marking pencil, a regular pencil and a Book of Mormon reading chart, with boxes for each chapter that could be checked off as we progressed. One thing that I did go all out on was the food. I knew that if they were hungry, they wouldn't be listening. I also knew that if they had a ton of junk food, they would be sleeping and their bodies would feel crummy. This is where I got the ward involved. While I provided (through the ward budget) and prepared the snacks, the auxiliaries provided the meals. Everyone ate breakfast at home, then we provided the rest. (I did have hot water with cocoa and apple cider packets when they arrived in the mornings.) Here is the menu, with instructions for the least amount of interruption as possible. Those providing the meals did an excellent job. I was so grateful for them. I'd mostly prepared the snacks ahead of time so I wasn't in the kitchen very much. I really wanted to be reading with the others! It could have been very easy for me to be in the kitchen all day. I decided to let the messes happen so I could participate. If the members of the ward didn't bring in meals, I for sure would have been in the kitchen all day. You'd be surprised how hungry you can get sitting around! We had a strict reading schedule, but we are still human. I made sure we had a break at least once an hour. As respectful and reverent as the youth were during the reading, things were different during our breaks. The afternoons were especially hard so we found ourselves pacing the gym while following along, running outside in the snow during breaks, snowball fights, camel fights, basketball, jumping jacks and lots of laughter. You can only hold so still for so long! Can you guess which one is the dancer? Ha. Here is our schedule. We mostly kept to it, though several times we voted to delay a break or a meal if we were close to finishing a book. They were really committed to finishing! We were much slower when we read, versus the sped-up audio file. There was better focus and concentration when we read, though, so I did try to have us read as much as possible. I got us a little ahead of schedule with the audio file so that we could read much of 3 Nephi together. Most of the time we were scattered all around the floor and stage. For this part, though, we put chairs in a circle, knees practically touching. We started in Chapter 10. I felt the Holy Spirit burn in my heart as he declared to my spirit the truth of the words. Jesus Christ did come to the people. They did feel the prints in his hands and feet. He did pray for them and bless their children. I know it is true. I learned so much reading the Book of Mormon this fast. You know the book's title is The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ. In this speed-reading version, I was astounded by the frequency of the witnesses of Christ. It seemed like every five or so chapters, someone else was adding their witness to the record, either through a personal visitation by Jesus Christ himself (pre-mortal or post-mortal) or through a vision of his birth, life, death or resurrection. Lehi, Nephi, Jacob, Joseph, Benjamin, Mormon, Alma, Abinadi, and the list goes on. The book truly lives up to its name. There were some kids who attended who I'm pretty sure did not have a testimony of the Book of Mormon prior to the event. In fact, one mother was especially concerned her son was going to want a way out. She sent me a text telling me that. I responded, in complete honesty, that her son didn't want to leave. He was all in. They all were. By hour 22, things were starting to get a little dicey with the younger boys, but it never got out of hand. A snap of the fingers and a bit of stink eye and the boys shaped up again. Beautiful, fun and virtuous young women. We enjoyed being together, but it was more than that; we were united under the same ensign. We were marching in the same army, fighting for the same cause. We were there because we wanted to be there-- even if those who didn't want to be in the beginning, they did by the end. At 7:55, we sat back in the circle to read the final chapter of Moroni together. I took the liberty of reading it to my so loved youth. I challenged them to accept Moroni's challenge: We completed the Book of Mormon in under 24 hours. We made it! It was by the skin of our teeth, but we made it! There was a lot of clapping, cheering, and general merry making. This incredible group of the Lord's mighty army accomplished a difficult goal. By this time, even the chairs weren't high enough to reach the topmost of our chart. And here we are. (There were three more that could only come for the first day.) I love these people. Every one of them. I'm so thankful that I was able to serve with them. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. We will remember this for the rest of our lives. The friendships that were strengthened. The testimonies that grew. The Spirit that was felt. With this manual as our guide, the future is in good hands.

I have really encouraged reading the Book of Mormon this year, since they have to read it completely through to pass of their "Virtue Value Project." To help them, I gave them a reading chart that I made. See this chart below and other links to other resources/charts, and another chart I made to start in April. I often put at the top of this Rose Chart "My testimony will bloom as I read the Book of Mormon" before I copy it. Enjoy! I hope this is helpful. I don't mind (I even encourage) use of things that I have created to help forward the work of the Lord. The only thing I mind is if you use my creations (written or pictures) to increase your own personal revenue.
When my boys were younger and preparing to go on their missions I wanted to try to encourage them to read the Book of Mormon on their own. I got this idea from my father who used to read his scriptures when he went to the bathroom every day. So I went out an got a cheap hardcover Book of Mormon and had it embossed with the words "Bathroom Copy" on the cover. I'm not sure if they used it, but all three of them served missions. Since then I have noticed that it ended up in my daughter's bathroom. I have to admit that it has come in handy on several occasions. Who knows, maybe a guest might find it interesting enough to learn more? Here's where we keep it now: When I was a teenager someone gave me this reading chart to chart my progress of the Book of Mormon. I wore out the one they gave me, and redrew it many years ago. I know that in the age of computers that someone could really make a fantastic version of this chart, but this one holds a soft spot in my heart. Hand Drawn Book of Mormon Reading Chart: Here is another reading chart that I have that is great for Summer reading. It is reading the Book of Mormon in the time that it took Joseph Smith to translate it. I'm not sure where it came from to link to the original source. I searched for it but couldn't find it. If you know the original source please share it with me and I would gladly link into it. When I finished my reading I just highlighted the day that I read in a highlighter. I often found that I read even more than the designated amount just for a personal challenge. Here is another scripture related idea that I have used with my seminary students. Just click on the picture below and it will take you to the link:

Our Primary put on a ward activity this evening-- "Book of Mormon Challenge". Our ward has a goal for everyone to read the Book of Mormon this year and this was a bit of a kickoff activity. Abe served as our announcer-- his name was "Amazoriantumr". We had dinner and lots of games for families to play. Clark built our "Ruins of Ammonihah". You had to race against someone else to blow a ping-pong ball through the maze. In "Nephi's Beast Hunt" you tried to hit the beasts with toy balls. As you can imagine the girls were horrified to see their precious webkins abused in such a manner. No actual animals were harmed in the playing of this game. In "Samuel the Lamanite" the goal was to shoot Samuel off his wall with a nerf gun. The little lady with the gun in this picture is WAY too close. No shooting Samuel point blank. I had to intercede and make them step back. This was a popular table. If you thought shooting Samuel was bad, "Waters of Sebus" was downright grotesque-- but in a funny sort of way. If you recall, the Waters of Sebus was the location of Ammon's cutting off the arms of the Lamanite robbers. I am swinging arms (made of nylons and stuffing) and I'm about to throw them to Abe and Elinor who will try to catch them in a towel. Very fun. Somewhat irreverent, but fun. We had a few other games: "Amalickiah's Poison Darts" (blowing toothpicks through straws into boxes), "Book of Mormon Trivia" (answer BOM questions), and "Symbols of Zarahemla" (a matching game). The final game was "The Title of Liberty Challenge". There were two teams racing to have everyone on their team put on the t-shirt, and sign their name. It was close and very funny watching people getting tangled up in the shirt trying to do it quickly. Overall the activity was very well attended and I think people enjoyed themselves. And I'm glad it's done. Good night.

After taking a very long hiatus due to pretty wretched morning sickness (oh yeah, I'm having ANOTHER boy - I had been wondering what to do about the title of this blog if I had a girl...), I am here once again to bring you something useful: A Book of Mormon reading chart. In my ward, a goal has been set for us all to do more daily scripture reading. So, in the Primary, we are encouraging the kids to join in and a fun chart is always helpful, I find. I searched the web and pinterest and didn't really find a reading chart I liked, so I decided to make one. How hard could it be? It actually went much quicker than I anticipated. Did you know there are 239 chapters in the Book of Mormon? With a goal to finish before the year is over, that seems fairly doable to me. Here is my chart - and I take no credit for the cute little super heroes. I found those on google images. (Click on the image to download a larger resolution version.)
i haven't mentioned it a ton here on this blog, but my religion/faith is a huge part of my life. i am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormon or LDS). i go to church on Sundays, and this past week while i was at there (roaming the halls with my fairly loud 6 month old), i passed a bulletin board with this poster on it. lately i have been letting a lot of other stuff take priority over my need for spiritual study. to some, this may seem silly or trivial. to me, this is huge. making time to read my scriptures has always been important to me, and i can definitely see a difference in my day/attitude when i read them. so when i saw this poster, it was like a lightbulb went off above my head. now, i've totally had sheets like this before - read the BofM in 30 days, that one chart that you get in Primary where you color it in as you go - but for whatever reason, when i saw this one i got really excited. i guess it was the perfect push to get me going, because i got home and started the challenge that day. buuuut of course i wanted to make my own chart. this is what i came up with: the check-mark boxes help me to see where i am and give me that teeny feeling of accomplishment when i get to make that "x" in each one. and heck yes i'm sharing this with you! and i hope you get excited about it just like i am! there's a blue/green version too for the boys, or all you pink-haters out there (hehe). download here:
