NEW TESTAMENT

1st Corinthians 11

Marriage is of God.  Both men and women need each other.
We won't receive all truth in this world.
We have to be trying throughout the week for our covenants to work on Sunday.
4000 years from Adam to Christ.
I need to make a list of my weaknesses.
Put them in groups.
Work on the most serious one first.
Pray for help morning and night with my weaknesses.
I think these are great steps to trying to be better.
I'm going to do this.

BOOK OF MORMON

Helaman 5

Nephi gave up the judgement seat to Cezoram.  He went around preaching the gospel with his brother Lehi.
Helaman named them after the Nephi and Lehi of old on purpose for them to remember to be righteous.
Only way to eternal life is through the atonement.
We need to build our foundation on the Saviour.
They served their mission in Bountiful then Gid then Mulek and so on.
Many were baptized.
8000 Lamanites were baptized.
Then Nephi and Lehi were put into prison.
300 Lamanites saw and heard angels.
They went and ministered to other about what they saw.  Many Lamanites were converted and ended up giving the land back to the Nephites.

CONFERENCE TALKS

October 2011 'The power of Scripture'  Richard G Scott

We're given tools to help us in this life.  One of those tools is the scriptures.
Scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high.
Their use provides a foundation of truth that can be awakened by the Holy Ghost.
Great power can come from memorizing scripture.
Scriptures can calm an agitated soul, giving peace, love and a restoration of confidence in ones ability to overcome the challenges of life.

DAUGHTERS OF MY KINGDOM

Chapter 9

Motherhood is near to divinity.  It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind.  It places her who honours it's holy calling and service next to angels.
Hold your heads high, you wives, mothers, homemakers. 
You engender life and enrich it.  Don't trade that pervasive force for fleeting, surface trinkets.
Cherish it, enlarge it, magnify it.  You hold a mighty office.
No other success can compensate for failure in the home.
We call upon the women of the church to stand together for righteousness.
A child needs a mother more than all the things money can buy.  Spending time with your children is the greatest gift of all.
