Scripture Study


This is Hyrum ready to go to church. I think he looks just like a mini missionary! We were just about to walk out the door when he ran back to get "his" (they are really Paige's) scriptures. He loves to have them with him as he's wandering around the house. Now his blanket and scriptures are his best friends. (He sleeps with both!)


I think my children have become obsessed with scripture study. We are trying to do it more regularly and Paige and Hyrum are in love with it. They are always reminding us to have it and when we aren't doing it, then they will. It's really cute because they just make stuff up as they go. For Hyrum it's usually something like "and it came to pass" and then just a bunch of nonsense followed by "and then they fight". I think he will like the wars in the Book of Mormon when he gets older. Paige recites the stories she's learned with a lot of detail. When we read together as a family, Hyrum usually holds them upside down, but he will say the words we read to him for his turn. Paige is starting to read in school and is getting pretty good, but she is really learning a lot from our family study time. She has even made a goal to be reading at a first grade level by the end of the year. I know reading the scriptures together will help that to happen.


This is the song Hyrum made up about scripture study. I know it's hard to understand him, but he is saying "scripture study" over and over again.
