A few minutes ago we finished reading the Book of Mormon. We started on Friday at 4:00 ... and finished on Sunday at 8:00. It was a Book of Mormon marathon with the Young Men and Young Women of our ward. It was quite amazing, and my testimony of that Book was definitely strengthened. I personally took a break here and there for different things, but a lot of the youth were there for every single word. It took some real determination and perseverance. We even had guest appearances from Lehi, Nephi, Enos, Samuel the Lamanite, Moroni, and others.

DANCE:
Miriam and Ellie made the American Rhythm dance team! If all goes well, they will be travelling to folk festivals in ITALY with Auriana and Taylon this summer. They are very excited!!
SPORTS:
Ellie has been playing rec soccer and volleyball and loves it. Volleyball is a new sport for our family ... the rules have changed since I was young. Enoch and Miriam both finished up their soccer seasons successfully. Miriam played varsity in one of the final games at the high school and received a varsity letter. Enoch's club team did so well this season that they will move to the Premier level next season...that't the top! In my opinion that's a huge accomplishment for a team that doesn't cut players. His team started out with a bunch of 10 year old friends from the neighborhood with three of their dads as volunteer coaches. They have worked very hard and have progressed amazingly together. They are fun to watch! Both Miriam and Enoch made the school basketball teams this week as well! Here we go with four games every week. What fun!! Isaac's (and Scott's) intramural frisbee team is doing well in their tournament. Natalie has had a blast playing intramural soccer and basketball ... both of her teams are doing well in the tournaments as well. She has persevered through a sprained ankle.
