Her Very Own Scriptures

Ever since one of Nichole's friends at church got her own set of scriptures for church, Nichole has been asking about getting her own. She can't read yet, so I hadn't really thought of it before. But she really wanted some. And... some Sundays in our Primary, those that bring their scriptures get to put coins in a jar. They can put coins in a jar for other reasons, too, like being reverent or helping out. Each class has a jar. All the coins are given to the Bishop at the end of the month to help someone in the ward or a family or humanitarian aid or something and whichever class has collected the most coins gets to help the Bishop help someone.

The point of this post though is that we finally took Nichole to the "scripture store" (that's Deseret Book) and got her her very own Book of Mormon. When we were buying it, they said that they could imprint her name on it for only a couple dollars more. We decided to go for it. It would be extra special. So Nichole now has her very own Book of Mormon with her name on it and is already learning how to mark special verses. When we do scripture reading as a family, she is very interested in having hers open and being involved. She loves her scriptures and I'm so happy that they are important to her.
