I started reading the Book of Mormon when I turned seven to prepare for my baptism. I finished it on my eighth birthday! There were difficult words but many interesting stories.

I always read the Book of Mormon. My favorite part is the story of Nephi.

We went to the temple grounds. It made me excited to do temple baptisms when I’m old enough. I felt happy when I was there. The temple is so beautiful.

When I pray and read the scriptures each day, I feel close to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Some of my baseball games are on Sunday. I’m sad I can’t go to all of them but happy I can go to church. I always want to be at the right place on the Sabbath day.

My mom said I could get a reptile if I earned the money. It took a while because I paid tithing. When a reptile cage went on sale, I had enough money to buy it! The next day I got my chameleon for my birthday. This helped me get my testimony of tithing.
