2 Nephi 16:1-17:25
Why would the Lord send a prophet to a people He knew would reject the message?
Alma 5:1-40
To gain salvation, men must repent and keep the commandments, be born again, cleanse their garments through the blood of Christ, be humble and strip themselves from pride and envy, and do the works of righteousness, whatsoever is good cometh from God, and whatsoever is evil cometh from the devil.
DC 31:1-13
How can verse 2 bring us comfort if we have family members who have strayed?
Talk: "Followers of Christ"

GC: "If Ye Had Known Me" by Elder David A. Bednar
'Pressing forward on the strait and narrow path is what He would have us do. Tasting the fruit of the tree and becoming deeply "converted unto the Lord are the blessings He yearns for us to receive." Hence, He beckons us 'Come follow me.'
Both exercising faith in and following Jesus Christ are necessary preparations for serving Him.'
"Preach My Gospel" - Using the Book of Mormon in missionary work.
James requested I read a couple of chapters from "Lady of the Lakes." I also read from "Contrite Spirit," chapter 12 regarding
Expectations.
My Primary lesson this month is on the witnesses of the gold plates. To me it is interesting that the Lord provided 12 witnesses of the gold plates just as he provided 12 witnesses of the Savior.

I worked on learning how to use Hope Chest on Family Search today but as of yet I have not actually used it. After blogging, taking a shower, and a nap I cleaned in the family/living room. I dusted, vacuumed, including the couch, and polished part of the floor where James walks from outside to the fireplace.
After my inside cleaning I went outside and picked up pinecones just outside the living room. We have a pine tree that loves to drop pine cones.
I also paid some bills while James was upstairs working on taxes. We did two things together today. We read 3 chapters from "Lady of the Lakes," and watched the newest episode of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." This episode was about the aftermath of displaced people as a result of Hurricane Katrina. This was the best episode yet! Norman and Rita are engaged and Shane and Oliver kissed.

I am a little concerned about this.
Are some of our rights being taken away?
