My first week of school had its ups and its downs. I was on my knees a little more than my usual times asking for help. It has been a long time since I used my brain like that. I have studied things and thought long and hard about things but to spend several hours every day reading and studying is altogether different. I was seriously hurting my brain last week. I didn't feel like any of it was sinking in and I was beginning to feel really discouraged. I started praying before I studied and that really helped. I also started praying that I would be able to learn to learn more efficiently so I could be more productive. Well Sunday I had a major ah ha moment. While Brother Krumenaker was speaking he made several references to the Book of Mormon and I had this distinct thought come into my mind that said, "If you read the Book of Mormon you will be able to learn better." I remembered hearing a promise or quote back when I was in high school to that effect and it pierced me to the soul as truth then and now. So I am taking this on as a personal challenge to read the Book of Mormon this Semester before Christmas. Wish me luck. Let me know if you would like to join in on my challenge. I can't think of a better Christmas present to me and my Saviour than to finish reading His book just before we celebrate His birth and life.

That is wonderful!!! You are such a wonderful example to us all!! Good luck with school! You will do great.
Go Margo! You can do it!!!! I have to admit (in all honesty) there were many times that I just sat down at the table and cried after the kids had gone to bed when I was working on my Anatomy homework. I kept telling Ryan I wasn't smart enough to do all this, but he has always encouraged me to take it one day at a time. That's all you can do! You will do fantastic at school!!!
