This year, some of our families endeavored to memorize The Living Christ. Our family did it with a goal of finishing in 12 weeks. While it took a little longer than expected because of a few summertime hiccups, we did complete it and it was a wonderful experience for us. Family prayers became more meaningful because the children gave more
thought to Him in whose name they were praying. The Spirit filled our
home. Family Home Evening lessons were taught on the things we were learning. Our children learned more deeply who we actually believe Jesus Christ to be and the role He plays in our lives. We felt like Nephi when he wrote, 'We talk of Christ, we rejoice
in Christ, we preach of Christ' (2 Nephi 25:26). Our home became a place
of greater peace.
Haylee's family also completed this Living Christ challenge. One day, we were talking together and I asked if she had any intentions of memorizing The Family: A Proclamation to the World. We both want to make a goal of memorizing it in 2016 and so as my service, I have created (haven't finished, but almost!) printables and flashcards to help our families memorize this uber important document. Upon finishing this project, I also plan on making it available for free to the public. I know that this will prove to be a very valuable service investment! Merry Christmas, Haylee!
