"And this shall ye always observe to do," talking about partaking of the sacrament.
"pray always unto the father in my name." (3 Nephi 18:19)
"hold up your light that it may shine unto the world." (18:24)

How can we better hold up our lights and shine? How can we be a better light and want to be a light unto the world? It's important to be a light and an example to those around us but it's also not always easy to do.

3 Nephi 18:32, "...ye know not but what they will return and repent, and come unto me with full purpose of heart, and shall heal them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto them."
-I love this scripture because it is totally missionary work at it's finest. It's promising us that we can be a part of God's great work in bringing others salvation through Christ in order to return to live with God again.

Christ prays to God on the people's behalf (3 Nephi 19:27-28), it makes me wonder how often he does it now? Because I'm always making mistakes and always getting upset about life and that it's not going the way I want it to.

Blessing: I'm thankful for my body and the many things I am capable of doing with it.

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...
