@Christopher Patch: You. Are. The. Bombdiggity. for doing this each week. THANK YOU! I watch and rewatch these videos and your markers are great for finding just that exact spot I am going over again. Thank you!
My Mom has the best saying, "Success is never final. Neither is failure." We always have a chance to do better or worse. Let's do better! Thanks for your thoughts. Always so good.
Thank you so much Emily and David!I have nobody to study this with and I love enjoying your insights and thoughts. It makes me feel less lonely, and really deepens my study and appreciation of the scriptures. Thank you for helping my testimony grow!
I have had my own challenges with Hashimotos disease, resulting in numerous surgeries. My answer from God was very different. I was told that this trial would not be removed from me, and was asked if I had the faith to live a full life - with joy - while being sick, and seriously challenged. There was more to that conversation, but I will leave out those sacred details. What is important, is that I do have complete faith in my Savior, in His grace, and in the complete knowledge that I’m not being picked on, I’m being chosen and loved. My deliverance from this mortal bondage of disease will come when I see my Savior face to face.
I'm really grateful for your thoughts about praying for our children. Sometimes I feel like all I do is pray and nothing is happening. Maybe praying, "What can I do today, Lord?" is the way to go.
I love that Abinadi died not knowing if his words, his testimony, and even his very life had made a difference...BUT HE DID IT ANYWAY! There is such a wonderful message in that for me! Sometimes there are those around us-even family members-who are unimpressed or unaffected by our words, our testimony, and by the way we choose the Lord in our lives, but we do it anyway! How I love Abinadi!
You two have made the Book of Mormon exciting, fun and understandable to me after 60 years of reading it without benefiting that much. I love you both so much, I love that your joy in the gospel is full because you LAUGH and make me laugh! What a blessing!
Don't give up. My nephew spent time in prison. Through years of struggle he was able to be re-baptised 3 years ago and now he has received a restoration of all his priesthood blessings and will be able to take his wife and children to the temple to be sealed.
I have a brother in the same circumstances. He is 52 having been there for most of his adult life. He is changing and beginning to soften. We love him. Keep up the hope. Christ knows all of us and our hearts.
Mosiah has always been one of my favorite books. Watching and listening to you two this morning talk about these chapters has been so uplifting. I cried through much of this but when David said, "why are you carrying a burden I've already carried", it hit me with so much gratitude I was sobbing. Why am I trying to carry something that has already been taken care of? Christ already did that for all of us. I needed that reminder today. You two were my angels today and I thank Him for you two and the time and prayers you guys put into your videos. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much Emily and David. This was so immensely personal to me. Although the prayers spoken of were mostly of the parents to their sons, I couldn't help believe that my situation, dealing with a beloved friend who has left the church applied to me too. My constant prayers and hope and faith that he will return someday to Christ are forever in my heart and soul. Many well meaning friends have encouraged me to let go of him, but I just can't. My hope for his salvation will never waiver, and maybe I can act as one of those angels you spoke about. So grateful for both of you.
Yes! I love love love your idea to do summer of heroes! We home-school (on purpose) because I am raising world changers. I am teaching my kids about historical heroes so they have examples of people that make a difference. My goal is that my kids will be brave enough to stand for truth and right and have a knowledge of how to make the changes this world needs! One person can make a difference. Small acts can make big changes. My kids will be watching this. 💚
I think it is important to remember: "But if not". I know my mother tried so hard to be perfect so that she could have the alma experience. I remember when my husband left.....I thought "God doesn't love me" because he didn't send an angel. But this talk helped me understand shadrach meshach and abendigo: "I know my God can save me, my child, my family, but if not..."
Great lesson. I have one of those sons that doesn't believe. I don't give up. I keep praying. I hope one day someone will be an angel to him. Thank you so much for this lesson. It was beautiful.
Katie Drollinger hang in there. We have a son who had drug problems on and off for 14 years. He has now been clean for 2 years. He still has a long road ahead but he has started going back to church and has a much clearer head. There’s nothing like a mother’s prayers.
I love how you talked about us trying again and again to learn from our sins to become better. I hear to many people in the church say that once you sin and sin again your sin is not forgiven. You are showing through scriptures the true mercy of Heavenly Father! My teenage son really needed to hear this. He is 12 and dealing with much depression. He thought he would not be forgiven...you brought joy to him. Today you both were my son's Abinadi!
Thanks ever so much for your inspiring lessons, they really touch my heart and soul. These lessons always give me the boost I need each week when I come to study and the clarity I need in my own understanding of the scriptures. Keep them coming, I love them.
Thank you, David & Emily, for all you do! I love these video lessons. I really look forward to watching this every week! Especially since we're not attending church as a ward family (yet). It's my opportunity to have "Sunday School" in my home (even if it's just me) each week. =)
I love HOW all these chapters illustrate the Beautiful Pattern of Repentance played out among ALL 3 Father/Sons (Alma the Elder to Alma the Younger to Corianton) Loving unconditionally with Long Suffering like the Savior !!
I love how you say no ones story is ever over. Heard once that if you have a happy or sad ending depends where you end the story. So true. Thanks for your work
I am so grateful for your words of hope and reminders of Christ's gathering power. I needed that today, especially the message that as we reach out to help others, others will step up to help our own children.
I am a 72-year-old fan "girl" of "Don't Miss This". I play a little game because I like to study in depth before watching your videos hoping I won't miss a thing. I am thrilled when I have an epiphany that you talk about, too. (Like the prayers for Alma, Jr. and his friends by the fathers and the faithful - the same people who went to Mosiah complaining about being persecuted.) BUT I never win my game because you always share what I missed! Bless you both!
Thank you so much for making this videos, it helps me so much to understand the scriptures in a deeper way so that I can teach my children, you guys are wonderful 💕
I taught a relief society lessen back when we were going to church, it came from the talk by elder Kyle s McKay. Thanks for reminding me of the “lmmediate” goodness of God, I need that right now
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your testimony and Spirit guided words have given me courage to keep trying to nourish my family with God’s word, the Love and example of the Savior through my daily living example, and making sure the Holy Ghost’s presence can be in my home. My husband is a bitter and persecuting Apostate and it’s been 8 looong years in the wilderness and counting!😭...my teenage children have left the Gospel and are unbelieving, my youngest I fear will do the same. I often feel alone and deeply discouraged bc “Deliverance “ seems a looong time coming with no positive signs of any change of heart in my family. Thank you for reminding me to see the numerous miracles and goodness of God in encouraging me to keep fighting the battle of rescue With The Lord, and reminding me to keep perspective in the fight bc we all know He has already won the war. Much love and respect for those of you out their fighting a similar battle. I know it’s deeply painful, heart wrenching, and often discouraging. The Lord trusts us in this rescue mission, keep looking up, there are more fighting with us than against us. Let’s cry our tears in Covenant mourning together, bc that’s strength in the Lord, and purpose together, and just keep going one more one more day...🥊✨❤️
This was great. Please think about our young adults too....we lose many when they leave home for the military, schooling and jobs. Alma the younger wasn't all that young. We need to apply all these wonderful lessons to our young adults and older adults...not just teens. 😀
I love your chain of thoughts on the power of influence and how sometimes it only takes one person to rise to the occasion. We each can have influence and we each can make a difference.
thank you for all your insight. I needed to hear your words about "being that mother". It is hard sometimes in the gospel to not compare ourselves to others. It seems like everyone else's families are perfect. But reading these words it reminds us all that we need to be praying for each other. Remembering that gives me comfort and feel as if I am not alone.
Mosiah 25 is a family favorite! We call it our Enthusiastic Cheer - Expressions of Regret chapter. Background: The Muppets Frog prince has a scene where the king is giving a speech and the chamberlain is instructing the people how to respond to the Kings announcements. The responses would alternate back and forth between enthusiastic cheers to expressions of regret. Present day: When we read the first line of Mosiah 25:8 where “…they knew not what to think” someone concluded they needed a Chamberlain so at the end of the verse exclaimed “Enthusiastic cheer!” Then at the end of verse 9 they uttered “Expressions of regret”. Verse 10 ended with “Enthusiastic cheer!” Verse 11 ended with “Expressions of regret”. Verse 12 ended with “Enthusiastic cheer!” It is now impossible to read this chapter without these responses coming to mind. In the verses that follow there are a lot of “Enthusiastic cheers!” It seems we always receive more opportunities to cheer about then regret even in times of trial. Maybe this is partly why we are saved or liberated by degrees. God wants to give us more opportunities for an “Enthusiastic cheer!”.
I am so grateful for your lesson.Especially today.It was an answer to my prayer.Thank you so much.Greetings from Germany.I would love to meet you one day.Sonja
This lesson really spoke to me. Thank you so much for doing this every week. I look forward to watching every Sunday as I prepare to study with my family. It has been a rough week, and the words you spoke were an answer to prayer.Thank you both again 💕
Thank you so much. I was in a situation recently where I was posed as the rescuer where I was hoping my response was the right one and this confirmed to me it was. YOU are angels sent to me to teach me and help me along the path. I appreciate you so much. Blessings!
"That aunt was in charge." HA HA! SOOOOOO goood and REEEAL!!! Seriously in tears over that one! Thanks for making laughs while teaching scripture!! MUCH NEEDED!!!
My daughter looked up "immediate" in the 1828 dictionary. It has a really cool definition: "acting without a medium, or without the intervention of another cause or means; producing its effect by its own direct agency." God's goodness was available to them, by the grace of God, not some third party interventionist.
I listened to the first few minutes of this video ( after watching the previous video for this week,) and I had to say thank you! I SO NEED something to look forward to..... I can hardly wait. 😬❤️❤️❤️
That is a great foil! I have never looked at those verses like that! I really emphasizes the doctrinal points that the Lord would have us understand! Thank you so much!
Summer of Heroes will include a woman or two, right?? Abish is a good one. Especially when you realize she had to keep her faith to herself in the harsh Lamanite society, she was the only believer, from her father's vision she carried.... but she had such courage to move on her instincts and stand up when it counted, to point others to faith in Jesus Christ, when her voice could have meant death. She was a lone woman of courage in a sea of disbelief. She had no congregation to commune with, no testimonies of others to share. She was a servant. Yet, she was able to have the spirit with her, all by herself, and God. And she stood. To show others. She was One. I can't remember where, but someone researched women heroines in the scriptures and had a supplement for primary teachers, so their stories could be highlighted more, since traditional church publications are a little less balanced. Mothers of the stripling warriors, Queen of King Lamoni...
I know and appreciate what you’re teaching, but there is a place that the scriptures use the harshness and destruction approach to teaching (see time stamp 45:43). Check Enos 1:22-23. And Mormon had no success with either approach, but he tried both (see Moroni 9:4). Hopefully we never get to the place the people were in with either of those references! Keep up the great work! We really enjoy and learn new insights from your weekly lessons.
Ok. I can’t resist. . . . I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life! Larger than life. 😂
Can you share a reference to the talk Elder Packer gave about the experience he had with the disruptive boy in his seminary class? Thank you! LOVE you both…
I love you guys so much! But can you make sure that you move more so we can see the board? I don’t want to keep guessing what is on the board 😬 thank you so much for everything you do! I love you guys so much!
If you pause at 21:20, then you can see the "11 Stand Outs" on Emily's side of the board. It's a little tricky, but if you pause at 51:21 you can see the whole board as they walk away.
I know you can't cover everything, but, it would have been great to hear a little something about the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost; this experience that Alma had MUST happen to ALL of us - how do we do that? I need some instructions. I think back to Mosiah 5 and Mosiah 15 for the words of King Benjamin and Abinidai on this exact same topic. Does that make sense? (Also, calling and election made sure in Mosiah 26:20).
Hello y'all, I appreciate you explaining the facts of the book of Mormon. However, we often focus on the children and youth for being rebellious, unbelievers, and have gone astray. Usually they are moldable. How about parents? Even when they're wrong we should honored them. In my experience my mother has been in a spot where doesn't progress spiritually. I have asked, pleaded, taught her, even screamed at here. How about a child player for a parent!? When you wish them to be better and unite the family instead of dividing it!. I have had guidance, revelation, inspiration from Heavenly Father but they don't hearken to the Lord and spirit. Is not just little ones, young adults but full grown people. We are all children of God. A hurt heart, hard head, blind eye, deaf hear to the will be difficult to penetrate til that person reflects on themselves. What can we do?
We love your videos and we have purchased your book, but how do we get copies of what you have on the blackboard each week? You are always standing in front of the blackboard making it difficult to copy all of the information. Thanks
@@christopherinsaudiarabia I have purchased The don't miss this book SKU 5227877 Book Format Paperback but I cannot locate a study guide that follows this program- can you help with a link- When I spoke with deseret, they did not know what I was talking about!
RICHARD G If you watch the first 10 minutes of the video from the week of 1 Nephi 8-10, they explain the study journal, devotional book, and the Take Five cards in the newsletter.
Hello! My name is Marciele Junges, I am from Brazil and I really enjoy watching your lessons. I would like to ask your permission to translate your videos by adding Portuguese subtitles to them. I would then publish them on a Come Follow Me Brazil channel. Is it okay if I do that? That way even those Brazilian members that do nit speak English could benefit from your excellent content. I would make sure to point your channel as the source of the videos. Please let me know if I can do that.
That comment at the end - about everyone choosing to bend the knee to Jesus Christ - feels a little too much like 2 Nephi 28:8. I know Father will save most of His children, and they will live some degree of His glory based on their obedience to His law. But I heard your statement about that, and it really gave me pause, guys. It flies in the face of everything I've learned about the principle of agency. You may also be interested in what Neal A. Maxwell said about that moment when the Savior comes: "And, if you sense that one day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, why not do so now? For in the coming of that collective confession, it will mean much less to kneel down when it is no longer possible to stand up!" ("Why Not Now?" October 1974 General Conference)
I’d like to learn more about the significance of baptism in the times of the law of Moses before Christ was baptized. I’m reading in Mosiah 25-28 and the people of Limhi hadn’t been baptized but wanted to be. We get baptized now to take upon ourselves the name of Christ and we know to do that because Christ showed us what to do and is our exemplar. Would they have been doing the same thing before Christ came to fulfill the law? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
About the “church community” joining together in prayer for one among them that’s gone astray: ideally, this is what bearing one another’s burdens should be. My experiences are that those within the circle do this for one another, but those marginalized do not benefit from this inclusion. As such, I opt to remember that Jesus was marginalized by his own, the Jews, as well. Hence, no one need feel sad they’ve been excluded by Ward, rather, opt to know that even Christ was not “popular”, but rather depended upon our common Father. So too, for us. But to expect Ward members to step up to the plate? Naw.
It took me a few minutes to realize the tail extending to the right of Limhi represents Amulon and the other wicked priests of Noah that remained in Nephi teaching the Lamanites the language of the Nephites. After nearly 400 years and without written records the Lamanite's language had become corrupt.

will you have kid size bracelets? I know they are stretchy but my kids are 7 and 10 and super skinny My guess is the letters are roman numerals or something.
Listening to this 4 years later. This literally answered a prayer about trusting Christ with our loved ones. “Our job is not to fix them, our job is to lead them a little closer to Christ.”

Jodi Woodbury Thank you for sharing! Isn’t it interesting how answers are individual?
I love you two so much. Thank you for your giving spirits, giving so much of yourselves and not giving up on the rest of us,
Amen!!
I'm really grateful for your thoughts about praying for our children. Sometimes I feel like all I do is pray and nothing is happening. Maybe praying, "What can I do today, Lord?" is the way to go.
I love that Abinadi died not knowing if his words, his testimony, and even his very life had made a difference...BUT HE DID IT ANYWAY! There is such a wonderful message in that for me!

Christine Morishita Me too! I feel the same. So thankful for these two amazing people that have the gift to explain things for our understanding👍🏼
I have a wayward boy who is 40+ and in prison but my prayers do not stop ascending.
Don't give up. My nephew spent time in prison. Through years of struggle he was able to be re-baptised 3 years ago and now he has received a restoration of all his priesthood blessings and will be able to take his wife and children to the temple to be sealed.
I have a brother in the same circumstances. He is 52 having been there for most of his adult life. He is changing and beginning to soften. We love him. Keep up the hope. Christ knows all of us and our hearts.
You are wonderful! My son is wayward too. The spirit tells me that he is being worked on even though I can’t see that happen. You are not alone.

I am so grateful for your words of hope and reminders of Christ's gathering power. I needed that today, especially the message that as we reach out to help others, others will step up to help our own children.
This was so well done. Thank you both for your insights and understanding and delivery that we may understand more fully also!
I am a 72-year-old fan "girl" of "Don't Miss This". I play a little game because I like to study in depth before watching your videos hoping I won't miss a thing. I am thrilled when I have an epiphany that you talk about, too. (Like the prayers for Alma, Jr. and his friends by the fathers and the faithful - the same people who went to Mosiah complaining about being persecuted.) BUT I never win my game because you always share what I missed! Bless you both!
You guys are amazing! I love these videos and I love how you teach us and I love your insight. Thank you so much
Wonderful teaching may God continue to bless you
I really, really needed to hear the part about failing!!! Keep tweeking it!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for your sweet spirit, the faith you share and the comic relief! You truly live the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Thank you so much for making this videos, it helps me so much to understand the scriptures in a deeper way so that I can teach my children, you guys are wonderful 💕
I taught a relief society lessen back when we were going to church, it came from the talk by elder Kyle s McKay. Thanks for reminding me of the “lmmediate” goodness of God, I need that right now
Thank you for pointing me to that talk. It was a blessing to me to read that today as my son enters rehab for the 4th time. God's love is incredible!
Thank you Emma for your comment. For I needed to hear this for I have two wayward children.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Your testimony and Spirit guided words have given me courage to keep trying to nourish my family with God’s word, the Love and example of the Savior through my daily living example, and making sure the Holy Ghost’s presence can be in my home. My husband is a bitter and persecuting Apostate and it’s been 8 looong years in the wilderness and counting!😭...my teenage children have left the Gospel and are unbelieving, my youngest I fear will do the same. I often feel alone and deeply discouraged bc “Deliverance “ seems a looong time coming with no positive signs of any change of heart in my family. Thank you for reminding me to see the numerous miracles and goodness of God in encouraging me to keep fighting the battle of rescue With The Lord, and reminding me to keep perspective in the fight bc we all know He has already won the war. Much love and respect for those of you out their fighting a similar battle. I know it’s deeply painful, heart wrenching, and often discouraging. The Lord trusts us in this rescue mission, keep looking up, there are more fighting with us than against us. Let’s cry our tears in Covenant mourning together, bc that’s strength in the Lord, and purpose together, and just keep going one more one more day...🥊✨❤️
Delightful, as always. Love your how you let your light so shine!🤟💖
This was great. Please think about our young adults too....we lose many when they leave home for the military, schooling and jobs. Alma the younger wasn't all that young. We need to apply all these wonderful lessons to our young adults and older adults...not just teens. 😀
I love your chain of thoughts on the power of influence and how sometimes it only takes one person to rise to the occasion. We each can have influence and we each can make a difference.
thank you for all your insight. I needed to hear your words about "being that mother". It is hard sometimes in the gospel to not compare ourselves to others. It seems like everyone else's families are perfect. But reading these words it reminds us all that we need to be praying for each other. Remembering that gives me comfort and feel as if I am not alone.
I am getting married in the Temple in 2 weeks!!
Congratulations Debbie.
Yay! You’re married now, but still so happy for you!!!
Thank you both🙏🏻
Thank you I needed to hear these truth today.
Emilee what you say around the 46:O0ish-48:00ish mark THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
Mosiah 25 is a family favorite! We call it our Enthusiastic Cheer - Expressions of Regret chapter.
Background: The Muppets Frog prince has a scene where the king is giving a speech and the chamberlain is instructing the people how to respond to the Kings announcements. The responses would alternate back and forth between enthusiastic cheers to expressions of regret.
Present day: When we read the first line of Mosiah 25:8 where “…they knew not what to think” someone concluded they needed a Chamberlain so at the end of the verse exclaimed “Enthusiastic cheer!” Then at the end of verse 9 they uttered “Expressions of regret”. Verse 10 ended with “Enthusiastic cheer!” Verse 11 ended with “Expressions of regret”. Verse 12 ended with “Enthusiastic cheer!” It is now impossible to read this chapter without these responses coming to mind. In the verses that follow there are a lot of “Enthusiastic cheers!” It seems we always receive more opportunities to cheer about then regret even in times of trial. Maybe this is partly why we are saved or liberated by degrees. God wants to give us more opportunities for an “Enthusiastic cheer!”.
Thank you for your words of testimony with this morning. You have brought much hope and help!
I am so grateful for your lesson.Especially today.It was an answer to my prayer.Thank you so much.Greetings from Germany.I would love to meet you one day.Sonja
This lesson really spoke to me. Thank you so much for doing this every week. I look forward to watching every Sunday as I prepare to study with my family. It has been a rough week, and the words you spoke were an answer to prayer.Thank you both again 💕
Thank you so much. I was in a situation recently where I was posed as the rescuer where I was hoping my response was the right one and this confirmed to me it was. YOU are angels sent to me to teach me and help me along the path. I appreciate you so much. Blessings!
I love this is soo good. Thank you.
Another great week! Thank you, and “Chao!” 😄
"That aunt was in charge." HA HA! SOOOOOO goood and REEEAL!!! Seriously in tears over that one! Thanks for making laughs while teaching scripture!! MUCH NEEDED!!!
So good to be “seen” thank you
My daughter looked up "immediate" in the 1828 dictionary. It has a really cool definition: "acting without a medium, or without the intervention of another cause or means; producing its effect by its own direct agency." God's goodness was available to them, by the grace of God, not some third party interventionist.
I listened to the first few minutes of this video ( after watching the previous video for this week,) and I had to say thank you! I SO NEED something to look forward to..... I can hardly wait. 😬❤️❤️❤️
That is a great foil! I have never looked at those verses like that! I really emphasizes the doctrinal points that the Lord would have us understand! Thank you so much!
David, we have someone we both know well. My nephew, Alan Casper told me you are friends. I sure appreciate what I have learned from you. Thank you!
Emily, David, I figured it out. Clever!
Back listening again
Ah! The summer of heroes reminds me of your book that I love so much!!!!!! It’s going to work great to read that along with it each day:)
Summer of Heroes will include a woman or two, right?? Abish is a good one. Especially when you realize she had to keep her faith to herself in the harsh Lamanite society, she was the only believer, from her father's vision she carried.... but she had such courage to move on her instincts and stand up when it counted, to point others to faith in Jesus Christ, when her voice could have meant death. She was a lone woman of courage in a sea of disbelief. She had no congregation to commune with, no testimonies of others to share. She was a servant. Yet, she was able to have the spirit with her, all by herself, and God. And she stood. To show others. She was One. I can't remember where, but someone researched women heroines in the scriptures and had a supplement for primary teachers, so their stories could be highlighted more, since traditional church publications are a little less balanced. Mothers of the stripling warriors, Queen of King Lamoni...

I love Abish! (It's my daughter's middle name, too).

I guess not Isobel.
You should have an interview with Rebel News
I know and appreciate what you’re teaching, but there is a place that the scriptures use the harshness and destruction approach to teaching (see time stamp 45:43). Check Enos 1:22-23. And Mormon had no success with either approach, but he tried both (see Moroni 9:4). Hopefully we never get to the place the people were in with either of those references! Keep up the great work! We really enjoy and learn new insights from your weekly lessons.
Ok. I can’t resist. . . . I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life!
Larger than life. 😂
by the way, I love how much I get from your lessons.
Can you share a reference to the talk Elder Packer gave about the experience he had with the disruptive boy in his seminary class? Thank you! LOVE you both…
I love you guys so much! But can you make sure that you move more so we can see the board? I don’t want to keep guessing what is on the board 😬 thank you so much for everything you do! I love you guys so much!
If you pause at 21:20, then you can see the "11 Stand Outs" on Emily's side of the board. It's a little tricky, but if you pause at 51:21 you can see the whole board as they walk away.
I know you can't cover everything, but, it would have been great to hear a little something about the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost; this experience that Alma had MUST happen to ALL of us - how do we do that? I need some instructions. I think back to Mosiah 5 and Mosiah 15 for the words of King Benjamin and Abinidai on this exact same topic. Does that make sense? (Also, calling and election made sure in Mosiah 26:20).
Thanks again and again
Hello y'all,
I appreciate you explaining the facts of the book of Mormon. However, we often focus on the children and youth for being rebellious, unbelievers, and have gone astray. Usually they are moldable. How about parents? Even when they're wrong we should honored them. In my experience my mother has been in a spot where doesn't progress spiritually. I have asked, pleaded, taught her, even screamed at here. How about a child player for a parent!? When you wish them to be better and unite the family instead of dividing it!. I have had guidance, revelation, inspiration from Heavenly Father but they don't hearken to the Lord and spirit. Is not just little ones, young adults but full grown people. We are all children of God. A hurt heart, hard head, blind eye, deaf hear to the will be difficult to penetrate til that person reflects on themselves. What can we do?
where did you get your pink scriptures???? I love them
We love your videos and we have purchased your book, but how do we get copies of what you have on the blackboard each week?
You are always standing in front of the blackboard making it difficult to copy all of the information. Thanks

Hello! My name is Marciele Junges, I am from Brazil and I really enjoy watching your lessons. I would like to ask your permission to translate your videos by adding Portuguese subtitles to them. I would then publish them on a Come Follow Me Brazil channel. Is it okay if I do that?
That way even those Brazilian members that do nit speak English could benefit from your excellent content. I would make sure to point your channel as the source of the videos. Please let me know if I can do that.
You may want to contact them through their Facebook page it's down below. 👍
Thank you for the tip. 👍
That comment at the end - about everyone choosing to bend the knee to Jesus Christ - feels a little too much like 2 Nephi 28:8. I know Father will save most of His children, and they will live some degree of His glory based on their obedience to His law. But I heard your statement about that, and it really gave me pause, guys. It flies in the face of everything I've learned about the principle of agency. You may also be interested in what Neal A. Maxwell said about that moment when the Savior comes: "And, if you sense that one day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, why not do so now? For in the coming of that collective confession, it will mean much less to kneel down when it is no longer possible to stand up!" ("Why Not Now?" October 1974 General Conference)

I’d like to learn more about the significance of baptism in the times of the law of Moses before Christ was baptized. I’m reading in Mosiah 25-28 and the people of Limhi hadn’t been baptized but wanted to be.
We get baptized now to take upon ourselves the name of Christ and we know to do that because Christ showed us what to do and is our exemplar.
Would they have been doing the same thing before Christ came to fulfill the law?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Anyone happen to have the Boyd K Packer story they referenced?
Love you two!
Did you include the promises from General Conference list on the newsletter yet?
About the “church community” joining together in prayer for one among them that’s gone astray: ideally, this is what bearing one another’s burdens should be. My experiences are that those within the circle do this for one another, but those marginalized do not benefit from this inclusion. As such, I opt to remember that Jesus was marginalized by his own, the Jews, as well. Hence, no one need feel sad they’ve been excluded by Ward, rather, opt to know that even Christ was not “popular”, but rather depended upon our common Father. So too, for us. But to expect Ward members to step up to the plate? Naw.
It took me a few minutes to realize the tail extending to the right of Limhi represents Amulon and the other wicked priests of Noah that remained in Nephi teaching the Lamanites the language of the Nephites. After nearly 400 years and without written records the Lamanite's language had become corrupt.
Anyone have a link for the questions to ask your kids by Ann Romney that they mentioned?
