Stake's 100 Day to Zion Challenge

Our Stake has given us a challenge for the new year. They have challenged us for 100 days straight to do personal prayer and scripture study, family prayer and scripture study and hold family home evening once a week and to have a family service activity once a week. Mike and I have decided to just say yes, make a firm decision and commitment and stick to it. We decided to not wait til January but to start right away and we can already feel the increased spirit and love in our home. Our kids are young and so we keep it quite simple. We have found the childrens stories very helpful on www.lds.org. We had the mormon channel on one day and there was a comment made that children are being raised in enemy territory and we knew that we did not want that to be our children. We believe that these four things, as we practice them faithfully will keep the influences of the enemy at bay and out of our home. Mike and I over the years have tried several times to be more faithful in these four things and I guess we lacked the motivation. Things are different, we have found the testimony and conviction we need to be faithful and what a huge blessing it is in our lives.
