I can't believe this day is finally here. Our family has finished reading the Book of Mormon! I don't remember when we started with real consistency, but I will tell you that is has been years since we were in First Nephi.
We read every morning at 7 am in the family room. Everyone has their own Book of Mormon and bookmarks. Kate was very insistent that she had one too. We take turns reading (except Kate, of course). Enoch has to be on the right page even though he just repeats what Greg says.
It's not always easy, but we push through. I try to remember that we are promised blessings from obeying and not how well the end results are (which is good since family scripture study can sometimes be torturous). We are looking forward to reading The Pearl of Great Price. Enoch is especially excited to read 'his' story.
Our favorite Book of Mormon stories are:
Greg: Teancum, Enos praying
Tresa: Brother of Jared, Murder of the Chief Judge, Samuel the Lamanite
Gavin: Murder of the Chief Judge (isn't it funny that Gavin and I both like this story? We are so blood-thirsty!). Any of the military strategy stories.
Enoch: Nephi building the ship
Kate: Samuel the Lamanite

impressive.
do you have to wake them?
Yeah for your family! That is a huge accomplishment. I feel like we have been reading forever, and we are only half way through. Oh well, like you said, it's the consistency and obedience.
That's really cool that you finished. I remember mom making us read together, I'm so glad your kids actually sit and read, especially kate too.
