100 Day Book of Mormon Challenge Complete

Well I just finished the Book of Mormon in 100 days. Although I read it just under 100 days, I finished it by the March 18th deadline. It sure feels good and I learned so much as well.

Rheese Miller died on Friday

Kiera and I teach the 10-11 yr old boys and girls in church. On Friday we got a call from the Primary President informing us that Rheese Miller one of the boys in our class died of a heart attack at school. It came as a great shock to us as well as everyone else. We found out that durning his short life he had 5 or 6 open heart surgeries but was doing well after the last one. He was always smiling and happy. I remember even when I asked him to be a bit more reverent he would just smile at me.

Anyway, today for our class we met in the overflow of the chapel with the older class and several of the families and friends of Rheese. The parents gave his history and our Bishop talked for a while about the joy that we have through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He talked about eternal families and how his parents will be able to hold him again and how we will all be able to see him again. It went very well. Rhesse's teacher and some of his friends that were not Mormon came also. One of his friends mom came as well and ironically she is my girls teacher (they are home taught but they go one day a week to Eagle Ridge). We actually ran into her on Saturday at the pool and so that made it that much more ironic that she was there today. Everything turned out very nice, we all cryed and laughed together in Rhesse's memory.

His funeral will be on Weds.
