A String Around Your Finger Remember to Read the Book of Mormon

I did a commercial today in Young Womens to promote the Book of Mormon project (the Virtue Value project).

I prepared before hand a string with a loop to put around my finger, but also this loop was tied to a Book of Mormon I was hiding in a bag.  I proceeded to tell the girls that I had another infomercial (and then proceeded to explain what an infomercial was to the youngest ones).  Then I said something like this:


"Everyone knows that a string tied around your finger helps you remember something. For today only, strings to remember your Book of Mormon reading are a very reasonable price!"

(Then I pulled the loop above the bag so that they couldn't see it was connected to the Book of Mormon, and stuck it on my finger.)

"See, the string is a very good reminder." (Then I pulled the whole Book of Mormon out by the string.) "When you are brushing your hair in the morning..."(I awkwardly pretended to brush my hair here, with the Book of Mormon hitting me in the head) "...you will remember to read your Book of Mormon!"

"And when you text your friends..." (I grabbed my phone and tried to text with the book in the way) "...it will remind you to read your Book of Mormon!"

"And when you take a test in school..." (I mimicked writing on a piece of paper, and adjusting the book out of my way, and then suddenly I pretended to notice it.)

"...it will remind you to..."

(I chanted it here, almost inviting them to join in by my tone...)

"...READ YOUR BOOK OF MORMON!!!"

"So, call now 1-800-read your Book of Mormon, to receive your handy string today!"

(Then I pulled out some pre-tied strings to pass around, without the book attached, and said)

"Here are your strings! (Book of Mormon not included)!"

Infomercials are always good for some giggles!
