Week 13




Day 85

GET BACK ON SCHEDULE

Use your reading chart to find the chapters you still need to read to be caught up through:

3 Nephi 26 or If you’re up to date with your reading, take time to study: 3 Nephi 11

What did the Nephites do to finally understand the voice they heard? What were the first things the Savior taught? What did Jesus say was his doctrine?





Day 86

Read: 3 Nephi 27-28

Mark: 3 Nephi 27:19-20

“The most important of all the commandments of God is the one that you’re having the most difficulty keeping…Today is the day for you to work…until you’ve been able to conquer that

weakness. Then you start on the next one that’s most difficult for you to keep. That’s the way to sanctify yourselves by keeping the commandments of God.”

~ President Harold B. Lee

What commandments are most difficult for you? What are you doing to be more obedient? Who can help you?





Day 87

Read: 3 Nephi 29 – Mormon 1

Mark: Mormon 1:13-15

“[President Brigham Young said] ‘I want you to teach the people – and I want you to follow this counsel yourself – that they must labor and so live as to obtain the Holy Spirit, for without this you cannot build up the kingdom; without the spirit of God you are in danger of walking in the dark.’”

~ President Wilford Woodruff

As a young man Mormon enjoyed the blessings of the Lord despite living in a wicked society. How can you keep the Spirit with you regardless of conditions in the world?





Day 88

Read: Mormon 2-4

Mark: Mormon 2:12-13

“Full repentance involves a 180-degree turn, and without looking back! …In ritual regret, we mourn our mistakes but without mending them. There can be no real repentance without

personal suffering and the passage of sufficient time for the needed cleansing and turning…Chastening is often needed until the turning is really under way!”

~ Elder Neal A. Maxwell

We can be sorry for the wrong reasons (like when we’re caught or punished). What can help you be sorry for the right reason?





Day 89

Read: Mormon 5-7

Mark: Mormon 6:16-20

“The tragedy of the Book of Mormon is not what became of the Nephites but what the Nephites became.”

~ Hugh Nibley

What led to the fall of the Nephites? What things do you do each day to stay strong?





Day 90

Read: Mormon 8-9

Mark: Mormon 9:11-12, 21

“The Lord will never forsake or abandon anyone. You may abandon him, but he will never abandon you. You never need to feel that you are alone.”

~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Mormon’s ministry ends in these chapters. Pay attention to Moroni’s warnings for our day. Righteousness sometimes seems to bring loneliness? Why are we not really as alone as we

sometimes feel? In chapter 9, look for reasons why you can rely on the Lord.





Day 91

Read: Ether 1-3

Mark: Ether 3:4-5

“What ever Jesus lays his hand upon lives. If Jesus lays his hands upon a marriage, it lives. If he is allowed to lay his hands upon the family, it lives.”

~ President Howard W Hunter

Look at the symbolism in the account of the Savior touching the stones that lit the way for the Jaredites. What does this account teach you about the touch of the Savior’s hand? How have you

felt the Lord’s hand in your life?
