3 Nephi 17
Jesus directs the people to ponder His words and pray for understanding; He heals their sick; He prays for the people, using language that cannot be written; Angels minister to and fire encircles their little ones.
Alma 22:15-26
This is one of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon because of this kind and what he was willing to give up to know God. He set a great example for his people.
*Search Alma 22:15 looking for what the father of King Lamoni was willing to give up in order to receive joy and eternal life.
* Although he was willing to give up all his possessions, Aaron taught him of a greater sacrifice that he needed to make. Alma 22:16.
* Read Alma 22:17-18, looking for the king's response to Aaron's instructions.
* What do you think it means to "give away" our sins? Why do you think it is necessary to repent of all of our sins, not just some of them? How long do you think it will take?
* What can we learn from King Lamoni's father about preparing for eternal life?
DC 93:1-18
1-5, All who are faithful will see the Lord; 6-18, John bore record that the Son of God went from grace to grace until He received a fulness of the glory of the Father;
How can we bear record of the Son?
*By emulating His example.

The Voice of Warning
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
" Remember the Lord's promise:
'I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your souls with joy.'
I love that assurance. Joy that fills our souls brings with it an eternal perspective in contrast to day-to-day living. That joy comes as peace amidst hardship or heartache. It provides comfort and courage, unfolds the truths of the gospel, and expands our love for the Lord and all of God's children. Although the need for such blessings is so great in many ways the world has forgotten and forsaken them."
To the Friends and the Investigators of the Church
Elder Joaquin E. Costa
"I realize now that I had expected to receive revelation without paying the price. Until then I had never truly spoken to God, and the idea of speaking to someone who wasn't present seemed foolish. I had to humble myself and do what I was being asked to do even if, in my worldly mind, it seemed silly."
It is 90 degrees but is overcast so it isn't too bad. I had an appointment with Dr. Moffat this afternoon to get my thyroid prescription renewed. Afterwards I got tacos at Aliberto's, and an ice cream cone and diet Coke at McDonald's.
I cleaned the dining room and kitchen floor today with my Hoover Floormate. It did a great job!
James pounded his Cat into submission today so he could work on the fence.
For FHE we listened to Elder Costa's talk and read from "The Lost Heiress."
