Favorite Scriptures

Each night we read the scriptures as a family. Right now we are reading a children's version of the Book of Mormon. Each night we read one new story, but then Ava makes us read her two favorite stories too. The first story that she loves is Baby Jesus. She will point to the different pictures and tell us about everyone. The second story she likes is about the Liahona. I'm not sure she quite understands the story yet, but she will find the story and say, "read Liahona." It is so wonderful to see her desire to read the scriptures and to know she is learning from them.

These are Ava's scriptures: My First Book of Mormon Stories, More of My First Book of Mormon Stories, and My First New Testament.
We have read all of them at least once, so we just start over again.

This is the story of "Baby Jesus" in the New Testament.

This is the story of the Liahona in the Book of Mormon.

For those of you wondering, "what the heck is the Liahona", it is found in the Book of Mormon. It is a "ball of curious workmanship" with two spindles and is interpreted as being a compass. It was a guide for Lehi (a prophet in the Book of Mormon) and his family. The compass only worked and gave guidance when they were faithful.
