Reading the Scriptures

The Young Women in our Stake are reading the Book of Mormon, with a goal to have it finished by the first day of Girl's Camp. Since we accepted the challenge as a family, we have learned a lot! Just little things, but they have been interesting nonetheless. The first thing we learned, was that Nephi had been highly "flavored" of the Lord. We also found out that Zedekiah was the king of "Judith". Later on in our reading, we discovered that Lehi and Ishmael's families had spent a lot of time traveling in the "weirderness", and that not only can the Lord of Hosts help us do all things, but so can a "Load" of Hosts! This past weekend, we were surprised to learn that Jacob, brother of Nephi and son of Lehi, had a lisp. How did we find this out? Well, Jacob had been commanded to keep the "splates" by Nephi.
It has been truly eye-opening to learn these little known facts from the Book of Mormon. I can't wait to see what other tidbits we discover!
