Our large family that was just baptized has accepted a
challenge to read the Book of Mormon. Everyone has been working on it, whether
reading or listening on their phones. But they have become a little discouraged
by the magnitude of the project.
We have been praying for them to have good experiences with
their reading. We wondered how we could keep up their enthusiasm.
They had us over for dinner this past week,

and the oldest girl decided the family should
discuss Lehi's dream. They started out to read, and soon they were acting out
the scene. Some people were in the great and spacious building, others were the
fountain, the mist of darkness, the Tree of Life, Lehi, Sam, Nephi, and the
rest of the characters.

Everyone had a wonderful time—totally involved in the
process. By the time they were finished, they could all tell the story and the
symbolism.
Sometimes magical moments like this materialize as an answers
to prayer. These are the small miracles that President Eyring invited us to
identify in our day-to-day activities. They help us remember that Heavenly
Father is blessing us in all we do.
