WEEK 13: Final

Your final has arrived! Here is what you need to do:

1. Pick three principles or doctrines from the Book of Mormon between the Title Page and Alma 29, and write out the principle in one clear and concise statement.
2. Pick one statement from the October 2013 General Conference which clearly connects with your chosen principle or doctrine.
3. Take points one and two and go write them in your scriptures.
4. Post a copy of your principle and statements here on the blog page and you are done.

Here are a couple of examples:

• 2 Nephi 32:5: Principle: Because I have been baptized and received the Holy Ghost, if I am obedient and worthy, I can receive the promptings of the Holy Ghost to show me the things I should do in my life. Elder M. Russell Ballard simply said, "Heed the promptings of the Spirit" ("Put Your Trust in the Lord," Oct. 2013 Gen Con). 
• Alma 5:14: Principle: Being born again, then honoring the sacred covenants I have made with God, leads to taking on the image of the countenance of the Savior. Elder Timothy J. Diches of the Seventy said, "The vicissitudes of life hep us fashion an eternal relationship with God--and engrave His image upon our countenance as we yield our hearts to Him" ("Wilt Thou Be Made Whole?" Oct. 2013 Gen Con). 

LAST ITEM: YOU ARE NOT COMPLETE WITH THIS COURSE UNTIL YOU SEND ME AN EMAIL (palmersj@ldschurch.org) OR TEXT ME WITH YOUR NAME INCLUDED (719-447-4776) STATING YOU EITHER READ THE TITLE PAGE OF THE BOOK OF MORMON THROUGH ALMA 29 OR NOT. I NEED YOUR REPORT BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. 

Week 12: Alma 8-16

We are just about done with the semester, Brothers & Sisters! This week please read Alma 8-16, and I would like to invite you to do three things while you are reading it:

1. Alma 8:16 says "Alma labored much in the spirit, wrestling with God in mighty prayer, that he would pour out his Spirit upon the people who were in the city; that he would also grant that he might baptize them unto repentance." Please wrestle with God in prayer that He would show you who is ready to receive the gospel message;
2. Enjoy reading these chapters, keeping your hearts and minds open to the impressions Heavenly Fathers sends you about who you might share the gospel with; and,
3. Report your experiences right here on the blog page.

Thanks! I will put up your final for you to take this week. No stress, you will pass it!
