Book of Mormon Marathon!!!

Are you ready?!! Come in comfy clothes and try to arrive a little before 6am so we can get right into reading!  Bring a blanket, comfy pillow, bean bag, whatever will keep you going for 15 1/2 hours. :) 

Completing the Virtue value project is part of our purpose:

The Savior chose to live a virtuous life. Follow His admonition to “learn of me” (D&C 19:23) by reading the entire Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Liken the scriptures to your life and circumstances. As you read, record your thoughts regularly in your journal. Note the example of the Savior. What did He and those who followed Him do to live virtuous lives? At the completion of your reading, record your testimony.
We will have people come in to read to you, you will have time to read independently, and lots of treats along the way!

We won't be able to make it through the entire Book of Mormon, so to complete your Virtue value project, you can start reading 4 Nephi to the end this week, and then not have a lot to read after we are done on Saturday. 


Here are some recorded experiences from marathons to get you more motivated :)

Side Note:
I think this would be fun to do with your Book of Mormon after you read it all the way through after this activity so you always know which one it is! http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/scripture-cover-tutorial
