Week 9




Day 57

GET BACK ON SCHEDULE

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

Alma 41 or If you’re up to date with your reading, take time to study: Alma 32

To what does Alma liken the seed? Why is faith important for the seed to grow? How can you know if it is a good seed?





Day 58

Read: Alma 42-43

Mark: Alma 42:14-15

“How great the wisdom and the love That filled the courts on high And sent the Savior from above To suffer, bleed and die!”

~ Hymn 195

How does understanding the Fall help you more fully love Jesus and appreciate what He did for us?





Day 59

Read: Alma 44-46

Mark: Alma 46:12

“The value of a country rests upon the values of its people. For the people of God, for the people who want peace, for their women and their children, there is only one way, one church and one Lord.”

~ Elder Charles Didier

Why do the wicked go to war? How are their motives different from the reasons why the righteous go to war?





Day 60

Read: Alma 47-49

Mark: Alma 48:11-13, 17

“Be true to your own convictions. You know what is right, and you know what is wrong. You know when you are doing the proper thing… We need not fear as long as we have in our lives

the power that comes from righteously living by the truth.”

~ President Gordon B. Hinckley

The Lamanites did not want to go to battle against the Nephites, but they also did not want to displease the king (Alma 47:2). Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to do the right thing, but were afraid you would displease someone? Why is it always better to do the right thing than to worry about what others might think of you?









Day 61

Read: Alma 50-51

Mark: Alma 50:19

“Mormon wants to teach what will be of most worth to us, and his use of the words thus and thus we see make the lessons easier to recognize and understand. Pay close attention to the ‘thus we

see’ phrases in the Book of Mormon. Here Mormon wants you to understand that the Lord is keeping His word to Lehi and blessing the Nephites with prosperity when they

keep the commandments.”

~ Elder Henry B. Eyring

In what ways has the Lord kept his word to you?



Day 62

Read: Alma 52-54

Mark: Alma 53:20-21

“In the spiritual battles you are waging, I see you as today’s sons of Helaman.”

~ President Ezra Taft Benson

Notice how Mormon describes these young men. How are you living so that you can be likened to the stripling warriors?



Day 63

Read: Alma 55-56

Mark: Alma 56:47-48

“We need more mothers who know the truth, whose children do not doubt their mothers know it.”

~ Elder Neal A. Maxwell

What important lessons have you learned from your mother?
