I remember begrudgingly waking up early for scripture study. We were mostly asleep and we'd all count ahead to see which verses we were in charge of reading. Verse 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 etc
One particular study session that I remember was when we were reading in Alma. We were reading about Captain Moroni and Captains Lehi, Teancum, and Prophet Helamen. They were pursuing the army of Amalakiah. One army was marching full speed ahead, and the other army was to get in behind Amalakiah's army. The army caught up to Amalakiah's army and the first army had to turn around to engage. Helamen's sons were also involved in the battle. While none of Helamen's army lost their lives, many were severely injured. But they were successful in their defeat of Amalakiah. Through their strategy, they were able to attack quickly and effectively and defend their families and homes.
This was one of my favorite memories of reading scriptures.
