Several years ago I decided to read or re-read (whatever the case may be) my Teachings of the Prophets manuals. Because I had been raising babies during the years that we studied those manuals in Relief Society, I was often tired, and consequently didn't keep up with my reading. I felt that I had missed a great opportunity to understand the gospel better, and so I made it a goal to read each lesson in each of the manuals. I would read about a particular topic in one, writing down in a journal the thoughts, questions, and quotes that hit me, and then would read about that topic in each of the other manuals.
Today I finished my goal. .JPG)

It was an amazing experience studying the words of the prophets that way. I really gained a deeper understanding of the gospel, and I grew to love these prophets, that were before my lifetime, and gained a testimony of the divine appointment that rested upon each of them as a Prophet of God in these the latter days.

Good for you. I remember when you started that goal, and talking with you about it. All I have to say is: I'm still raising babies :). Perhaps one day my time will come.
