Alma 37:32-34, "teach them an everlasting hatred against sin and iniquity." 
"Preach unto them repentance, and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ teach them to humble themselves and to be meek and lowly in heart; teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Teach them to never be weary of good work, but to be meek and lowly of heart; for such shall find rest in their souls."

 I love this scirpture. There are so many great things that we need to teach our families and friends.
They are talking about the Liahona, at the end of chapter 37. "shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond the follow us beyond the vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise."

Alma 38:9, "... I have told you that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness. 
In Alma 37:35 it says a similar thing, "O remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God."

 I like this because it is talking about learning the commandments and also keeping them in thy youth. If we do that we will gain a testimony of them and it will be part of our life to keep them and we wont question them the rest of our lives.
We gain testimony of such things by doing it or living it (the commandments).

We need to learn of Christ and live our lives accordingly as well. If we do this we will be a happier and more righteous people.

Blessing: I was able to find a place to live in May with Jennifer. :)

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
