Last night for Lydia's scripture study we read Mosiah chapter 19 in the Book of Mormon. This is about the wicked King Noah taking the men and fleeing from the approching Lamanite army, leaving the women and children and a few of the men (who refused to leave their families behind) to fend for them selves. They "caused that their fair daughters should stand forth and plead with the Lamanites that they would not slay them. And it came to pass that the Lamanites had compassion on them, for they were charmed with the beauty of their women. Therefore the Lamanites did spare their lives"
A little while after we were done reading Lydia said "Mom, I'm pretty huh."
"Yes you are Lydia, you are very pretty"
"The Lamanities wouldn't kill me because I'm so beautiful"
(chuckling to my self) "Nope, they wouldn't kill you, you are very beautiful"
ha ha ha well, at least she is getting something out of the scriptures.
I'm not quoting word for word, cause I can't remember exactly, but that is how the conversation went anyway, And while we are reading I stop often and make sure she understands what we are reading.
