When Wade went to Arizona with us, the trip was long but he was very patient even though it was difficult for him at times. Love this quote:
"Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required." Pres. Thomas S. Monson
Keep up the good work. We love all of you.

I hope everyone had an awesome Easters. I really enjoyed conference this past weekend. Its neat to see how much the book of mormon relates to our own lives. Im reading in Mosiah and realizing that we are receiving the same address today. People pitched their tents to listen the King. I think there's alot of symbolism in that. They were focusing on what King Benjamin was saying and knew he was a man of God. Its cool that we do the same today. We look toward the our prophet for counsel. Plus we get to see it in HD. How did everyone hear King B anyway?
Loves everyone. Mike
When you're in the service of your fellow beings , you are in the service of your god. ITS SO TRUE

We are still here and we are STILL reading. Sorry it's been a while since the Rowles posted. We are on track to finish by the 4th of July. We may need to read a bit extra on Sunday nights though. It has been a great habit that we hope to continue.

Finally, I think I have figured out all of the "ites". The Mulekites, the Jeredites, along with the Nephites and the Lamamites.

We are in Second Nephi!

Reading the Book of Mormon can seem like a big task. If we take it just a little bit at a time, it is much easier. Sort of like a big pile of snow, it can be moved one shovel at a time. Keep up the good work. Love you all.

Are you there?

Just wondering how you all are doing with your reading? I have been going real slow lately. I need to pace myself and try to read a couple of chapters a day. I can't read at night any more. Always to tired to read very much and I have a more difficult time remembering what I have read. Hang in there everyone. We will have a big party in July to celebrate finishing the Book of Mormon. Love you all.
