The Book of Mormon testifies that Jesus Christ it the Lamb of God, the Son of the Eternal Father and the SAVIOR of THE WORLD. Each of us must come unto him or we cannot be saved. And, there is only one way to come unto Christ and that is by accepting and living the gospel completely.

Thankfully, Christ makes that easy to see. He shows us that there is either a wrong way or a right way to go. The Lord wants us to be active participants in the work of the gospel; gaining testimonies of the truthfulness of it, the peace it brings and the blessings of eternal life.

But, how easy it can be to get lost in Satans mists of darkness and how difficult it is to feel a "flaxen" cord around your neck.
Satan is so careful to avoid detection.
Keep your eye on the goal.

So how amazing is the difference between how Nephi responds to his father's dream and how Lamen and his clan respond. Nephi goes to the Lord knowing he will receive an answer while Lamen and others dispute what their father saw and what it means. Nephi has to come and interpret and remind them that if they would have asked in faith they would have received their own answers. Interestingly enough they listen......Are we Nephi or Lamen when it comes to finding truth?

Also 1 Nephi 13:37 "...blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.

What great blessings will be ours if we seek to bring forth his Zion!!!! What are we doing to bring forth his Zion?

I just posted my comments for week one and two and I am spiritually drained. You all uplift me like the wind beneath my wings or like a pack mule under my seat, or like the time we had that awesome family home evening with the felt board and stuff, and when we sounded so good when we sang that hymn. Alecia-thank you especially: thank you for you
