Samuel the Lamanite preaches in Zarahemla. The Lamanites are more faithful than the Nephites.

'A time to prepare' by Elder Ian Arden
When time is wisely used, it's value is immeasurable. The Lord and our families should be at the top of the list. Love is really spelled T-I-M-E.
Poor use of time is a close cousin of idleness.
I need to use my time wisely. Tidy, kids, study, prayer, errands, gym etc. I don't want to miss being with my kids.

'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.
