90 Day Study Program

Yesterday our mission began a unified study of the Book of Mormon. We are reading together for the next 90 days.

We are marking four different things in four different colors:

1. Every reference about Jesus Christ (any of His names or pronouns that refer to Him).

2. His words (said by Him or by Prophets when they say: "Thus saith the Lord").

3. His attributes.

4. The doctrines and principles about conversion.

Then we count the number of references marked about Jesus Christ and write the total at the bottom of each page.

"There is a power in the Book of Mormon which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find a greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path."

President Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, November 1986

We'd love to have anyone and everyone join us for this study program. Yesterday's reading was 1 Nephi 1-3, and today's is 1 Nephi 4-6. Saturday is 1 Nephi 7-10 and Sunday is 1 Nephi 11-12.

This is perfect because the new value in YW is "virtue" and their big project for this one is reading the entire Book of Mormon. We are having a special fireside tonight to talk about it and challenging them to start right now. I was planning on doing it with them, and now I can do it with you too! Thanks Ellen!
