Book of Mormathon

**UPDATE: The youth were able to finish the entire Book of Mormon in one week and, as their leader, I couldn't be more proud! Way to go girls!**

The Book of Mormathon consists of youth getting together every day, sometimes 8 hours a day, and taking turns reading the Book of Mormon out loud with the goal of reading all 531 pages in a week. This marathon started Sunday and, if all goes to plan, will end this Sunday. We read Wednesday for Mutual from 6-9pm and by the end of the night we had reached page 225...half way through the week and halfway through the book...right on schedule! I am so proud of the youth in our ward for the dedication they have shown this week in reading the entire Book of Mormon before seminary starts next week. They are all examples to, not only me, but to everyone they come in contact with.
