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
Romans 3 and 4
3 Since we all sin, no-one can be justified by works alone. Some intervening power must bridge the gap. Jesus Christ was the answer. He's our grace. God's blessing are worth more than a man's good works could ever earn.
4 No man can earn salvation on his own. We need to pay the price of faith. Faith that includes enduring works of righteousness. We need to conform our lives to gospel standards. Only was possible to have this kind of faith.
We are justified of faith and works, through grace.
BOOK OF MORMON
3 Nephi 1 (Son of Nephi who was the son of Helaman)
91st year. 600 years since Lehi left.
Nephi left and gave his son, Nephi the brass plates and all the other records.
Nephi was never seen again.
92nd year more signs were happening but the wicked thought the time had past and started mocking the righteous.
The wicked set aside a day to kill all the righteous for the sign of the full light day with no night was not happening.
The the sign happened and some of the wicked fell to the earth cause they knew they were wrong.
More part of the people were converted to the Lord even though Satan worked hard.
The Gadianton Robbers still caused havoc.
The rising generation of the Lamanites started not believing and some Nephites took off to join the Gadianton robbers.

NEW TESTAMENT
Romans 1 and 2
Paul served for over 20 years and baptised 1000's.
The letters to Galatians and Rome are used these days for the false doctrine of other churches of works being unessential for salvation.
But the Jews were relying on their works to save them. This isn't right either.
There's a middle ground.
Paul shows that true faith requires personal righteousness and obedience to gospel principles, a truth overlooked by the 'faith alone' theory.
This letter may have been written in winter AD 57-58 in the end part of his third mission.
This letter was written to the saints who already had a knowledge of the gospel. So to those who don't, it's really hard to understand.
Spencer Kimball in 'Miracle of Forgiveness' pg 80-86 talks about homosexuality and it's awesome. I loved reading it.
Romans 2:13 The doers shall be justified. Paul clearly state that good works are important.
BOOK OF MORMON
Helaman 16
Some believed Samuel and found Nephi and confessed and were baptised.
Others tried to throw stones and shoot arrows at him and couldn't hit him. More were converted.
This whole time Nephi had been preaching as well.
Others thought it was the power of the devil that stopped them from being able to hit him.
They ran to get him and he jumped off and ran back to his town and was never heard of again.
End of the 86th year.
90th year signs of the prophets started happening.
End of the book of Helaman.

'The Divine Gift of Repentance' by Elder D Todd Christofferson
#1 The invitation to repent is an expression of love.
#2 Repentance means striving to change.
#3 Repentance means not only abandoning sin but also committing to obedience.
#4 Repentance requires a seriousness of purpose and a willingness to persevere even through pain.
#5 Whatever the cost of repentance, it is swallowed up in the joy of forgiveness.

NEW TESTAMENT
Manual Section 8
Of the 27 books in the New Testament 14 were written by Paul.
It would seem like he overshadows the other. But Peter, James and John were the First Presidency and we need to always remember that.
The 'letter' was one of the fastest ways to communicate to the people of the church, with any problems or local needs.
14 letters we have in the New Testament. Other letters included were written by Peter, James, John and maybe the successor of Pete and Jude.
Hebrews has no date when it was written.
The Jewish leaders were so mad when the apostles taught. They just couldn't let it go.
BOOK OF MORMON
Alma 58
Helaman just waited. Wanted more support from Zarahemla. They almost starved cause they had no food. 2000 soldiers were sent and some food. They prayed to Good that they'd be ok. They go to Manti against the Lamanites.
Gid and Teomner cut the spied off. Then they ran to the city and overthrew it cause the rest of the Lamanites army were running after Helaman.
They did take Manti without the shedding of blood.
They've taken back all the cities of their corner. But they're spread thin and waiting for support. This is the end of Helaman's letter to Moroni at the end of the 29th year.

July 2011 'Faith to Answer the Call'
This article is about the faith of the Pioneers as well as a sermon to us in these days and how we should have faith.
Elder Holland said
'My appeal is that you nurture your own physical and spiritual strength so that you have a deep reserviour of faith to call upon when tasks or challenges or demands of one kind or another come.'
It's a great article and I think all should read it.
Great faith quotes.
