What is Your Favorite Scripture?

Our friend Taija is preparing to get baptized this month. We all know that scripture reading can be a challenge. I would like to put together a list of our favorite scriptures to give to her to help her in studying the Book of Mormon.

Please leave a comment and share with us your favorite scripture (perferably in the Book of Mormon) and tell us why you like it. I will compile a list to give to her.

Thanks for your help!

God Bless America!

S.W.A.T

SERVICE WITHOUT A TRACE

Kelli taught a wonderful lesson on Sunday about serving others. Using President Monson's recent Conference talk, she posed the question: "What have you done for someone else today?" We were all challenged to find someone to serve this week, then report back on the blog. She gave us a paper that said "You've been S.W.A.T.ed (Service Without a Trace)" to leave for the people we serve. I'm anxious to see what kinds of service we come up with this week!
