Back in May, one of the RS teachers (Cami Awesome Jones) asked what I thought about the sisters in the ward reading the Book of Mormon over the summer. I was all for it since it was one of my 50 things to do this year (and because it's always a good thing to do,right?!?). Forty women signed up (including at least two alumni of the Arlington Ward) for the summer reading club. Cami started a blog. She handed out bookmarks every week. We had two outside/outloud readings (one at the Ward Campout and one at Robbins Farm Park).I read on the subway. I read in Barker Library at MIT. I read on my bed. I read for 2 1/2 hours at the red cottage in Boothbay Harbor, Maine (that was to catch up!).
Today is the last day of the summer reading club and I finished reading the Book of Mormon today.
It was a good experience for me and probably the most important thing I got out of it was understanding the many blessings we will receive when we do what is right.

Good work E-Fantastic-P! I'm in the home stretch now and hope to be done before too long. You've been an excellent supporter through this whole program. Thanks!
THAT is awesome.
Good for you! What a great RS idea. :)
I'm inspired. That sounds very cool
What a wonderful goal! So fun to have so many of your friends behind you. :)
That great! Aaron is working hard to finish before he get baptized on the 25th. We are really pushing it. He has to read 12 pages a day to make it!
What a great idea! I may have to copy you...
