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.

NEW TESTAMENT
2nd Corinthians 11-13
13:1 .....by the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be established.
The second epistle of the Corinth was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia.
In chapter 12 the man Paul refers to is himself.
I need to bear my trials well, one day I'll understand.
Suffering or 'school of experience' as John Taylor liked to put it.
Why trials? So we can learn to place our dependance on God and trust Him.
BOOK OF MORMON
Helaman 14
5 more years and then Jesus will come.
There'll be great lights from heaven. It'll be light all night. A new star will rise when he's born. Some will fall to the earth.
Signs of His death will be that the sun, moon and starts will be darkened and there'll be no light for three days until He's risen from the dead.
There'll be thunder and lightnings for hours. Earthquakes, tempests, mountains made low, valley's made into mountains, cities gone, highways broken up, graves opened and saints appearing to many.
We're free to act.
We're free to choose good or evil.

'It is better to look up' by Elder Carl B Cook
If we can 'look up' to God for help we won't feel overwhelmed with the burdens of life. We must have the faith to look up and the courage to follow His direction.
Looking u p is a metaphor for remembering Christ.
As we remember Him and trust in His power, we receive strength through His Atonement.
The Lord leads us through prophets and apostles as well as feelings after a heart felt prayer, repentance, keeping the commandments and the Holy Ghost.
We must act upon direction received.

NEW TESTAMENT
2nd Corinthians 1
The Lord may call upon us to bear afflictions and tribulations so that we may become as he desires us to be.
When Titus came and reported to Paul of the people of Corinth, this prompted, as well as Pauls' anxiety for the Corinth church, Paul to write a second letter.
Paul wrote at least 3 letters to the Corinthians. We lost the first and have the other 2 which are 1st and 2nd Corinthians.
BOOK OF MORMON
Helaman 9

They saw it then fainted. They were cast into prison. then they arrested Nephi and he confounded them again.

'Counsel to Youth' by Pres. Boyd K Packer
Satan is determined to disrupt our Heavenly Father's plan and seeks to control the minds and actions of all.
Gender is an essential characteristic and was established in that premortal existence.
All beings who have bodies have power over those who don't.
The voice of the Spirit comes as a feeling rather than a sound..........listen for that voice that is felt rather than heard.
The gift of the Holy Ghost, if you consent, will guide and protect you and even correct your actions. It is a spiritual voice that comes into the mind as a thought or feeling put into your heart.
The outcome of the 'battle' that began in the premortal life is not in question. Lucifer will loose.
'Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.'
Proverbs 3:5
I love this verse. It spoke to me today.
