This week is better for emailing. Now, to answer some of your questions. Right now I am studying in the Book of Mormon and Jesus the Christ. I'm about 3/4 of the way done with JtC and I'm in Helaman chapter 14ish in the Book of Mormon. As I have read through the Book of Mormon this time I have been impressed with Alma the Elder, Nefi son of Helaman and his brother Lehi. I always loved Abinadi when I was younger, but I have found a new hero in that story. Not to take away from what Abinadi did, what he was willing to do was incredible, but the humility it would require on Alma's part to accept Abinadi's words is incredible. It's not easy to admit you're wrong especially when it means giving up all that you have and having to flee from all that you know having to completely change your way of life. He was a pretty wicked guy. I also thought it was interesting in the part where it says if all where like unto Moroni...the next verse says that the sons of Mosiah and Helaman and his brethren were no less serviceable-something like that. I never noticed that. There are some incredible men in the Book of Mormon. As for what you and Sam should study in Preach my Gospel I think the best thing to read would be chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The rest wouldn't really apply much/make sense for now.
Thanks for everything that you do Mom. You're the best! And I love you lots! I really appreciate you. Thanks for being so constant with us. For always taking us to church. I think the only time I can remember when we just didn't go to church is when we lived in Florida and Stake Conference was forever away. You are and have been an amazing example for us boys. We wouldn't be who we are if it wasn't for your perseverance and example. I love you Mom.
Love, Matt
