John Derek has been struggling with his reading. I mentioned this to a friend of mine and they suggested I try reading the Book of Mormon with him. I looked into it and found some books that actually put the Book of Mormon into reading lessons with sight words and everything. I felt good about it and got the first book.
Before I told John Derek, I happened to pick up an Ensign and read an article about a man who suffered for years from ADHD and had a difficult time reading but was able to overcome by studying the Book of Mormon. I related the story to John Derek and didn't really thing he was paying attention. A few nights later he had to give the lesson at Family Home Evening. He decided to teach about faith and related this very story. I was so happy to see his faith growing and his trust in the Book of Mormon and Heavenly Father.

"And Zeezrom began to inquire of them diligently, that he might know more concerning the kingdom of God. And he said unto Alma: What does this mean which Amulek hath spoken concerning the resurrection of the dead, that all shall rise from the dead, both the just and the unjust, and are brought to stand before God to be judged according to their works?"
Zeezrom
had his own change of heart. I am amazed at how quickly the spirit of
the lord can change a heart and how slowly it changes in other people. I
am just grateful for my faith, that I have it and use it.
