Jesus Christ Authority of
Alma 5:50
Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is sson at hand; yea the Son of God cometh in his glory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.
Book of Mormon
1Nephi 17:31-47
*What message do you think Nephi wanted Laman and Lemuel to get out of verses 17:36-43?
*What can we learn from the story of the Israelites being bitten by the serpents in the wilderness? Why did Nephi choose to share this story with his brothers?
Old Testament
Exodus 9-10
9 The Lord destroys the cattle of the Egyptians, but not of the Israelites - Boils and blains are sent upon the Egyptians - The Lord sends hail and fire upon the people of Pharaoh, but not upon the people of Israel.
10 The Lord sends a plague of locusts - This is followed by thick darkness in all Egypt for three days - Moses is cast out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Old Testament Scripture Mastery
Ezekiel 37:15-17
15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it. For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

Apart, But Still One
Elder Joni L. Koch
" We had seen families in our ward who had become weaker in the gospel and had stopped attending meetings because they could not be one with those who were leading. I myself also witnessed many of my friends from Primary not remaining faithful in their youth because their parents were always finding fault with those inside the Church."
James left this morning to buy paint and then went to work at the Howard's. He worked until about 3:30 this afternoon. I had a stew on the stove waiting for him when he got home. He went outside to take a 15 minute walk before eating.
I scheduled our timeshare today for May 27th-June 3rd so we will be down in the valley for Ben's graduation and our anniversary.
Sister Hunsaker asked me if I would come in on Sunday and talk to the Beehives about what I have done in my life to know Christ.
It is 4:40 p.m. and I still have to hem James's temple pants, and make cookies for the temple tomorrow. We leave our house at 5:30 tomorrow morning. We get home between 2:30 and 3 in the afternoon and then we have to be back and seated in the chapel by 6:15 p.m.
Ruby's face when she heard she gets to play the
