How’s your book?

I thought I would like it, but I didn’t feel good when I was reading it. There were some bad parts, so I decided to stop.

I think that was the Holy Ghost! He was helping you know that it wasn’t good to read.

I’m proud of you for acting on your feelings. We can get a new book next week, OK?

OK. Thanks, Mamãe.
