NEW TESTAMENT

Romans 5 and 6

5:3 We glory in tribulations knowing that they worketh patience.

6  Faith is the key to salvation.
Baptism has to be by immersion as it is a symbol of re-birth.

BOOK OF MORMON

3 Nephi 2

People forgot and Satan had hold of them again.
100 years had passed since the days of Mosiah.
609 since Lehi.
9 since the signs of Christs birth.  This is how they kept time from now on.  So it's 9 years.
12 years the Nephites and Lamanites had to take up arms against the Gadianton Robbers as they were getting really bad.
End of the 13th year the righteous Lamanites joined the Nephites to stop the wickedness.  Then they turned white. 
By 15th year they weren't in a good spot.  Needed to be more righteous.

'Relief Society History:  A look at the Lord's vision for His daughters'

The ability to receive and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill we can acquire in this life.
With it we cannot fail, without it we cannot succeed.
We learn from our history that strong families are not an accident.

CONFERENCE TALKS


'Perfect love casteth out Fear'  by Elder L. Tom Perry

We need to be bold about our belief in Jesus Christ.  He is the central figure in all history.
We need to be righteous examples.
Speak up about the church.  It's always better for them to ask than for you to tell.  Listen and engage in a two-way conversation.
Avoid arguing for becoming defensive in any way.
