Book of Mormon Challenge: Day 3

We woke up at 6:30 today. We got ready for the day and started reading 3rd Nephi. At chapter 9 we put on our blindfolds as if the darkness had overcome us too. So no following along, it's dark, I've only had about 10 hours of sleep. Lets just say I didn't fall asleep I just was hearing the words but not processing them. Finally we were able to take off our blindfolds. We continued reading until 3 in the afternoon were we had lunch which was delicious sandwiches! We got back to reading and at about 5 we finished the Book of Mormon!!! But their was no celebrating since we wanted to feel the spirit. So we all went to a quiet little area and did the Moroni Challenge. For about 20 minutes we were quiet and felt the spirit. Then we went back inside and had a little testimony meeting, which took quite some time. But oh well, it was worth it. When that was done, we did a little celebrating!! We all got a little certifacate to put in the back of our Book of Mormon! Adorbs. And we ran through a gigantic sign that said something like this:
Easteridge Young Women Finished the Book of Mormon!! In Three Days!!
So then afterwards we got ready to leave. and I forgot that we had packed our things up after lunch and put them outside. After running through the sign we took whatever was still in the house and got into a car. We got back to the church at like 9. I was able to go to bed at 10.
I have to say that this was a crazy weekend! It was fun but very tiring, but very much worth it!
