-We need to be missionaries wherever we are to bring peace to those around us, and help them remember the plan our Father in Heaven has for us.

"...the Lord had created all men, and had also redeemed all men;" 
-That is an interesting concept. It makes me wonder if while he was creating each of us if He thought of that and that he would suffer for each of His creations.

Alma 1:12 this is the first time that priestcraft has been introduced among this people

The term, priestcraft, is defined in 2 Ne 26:29 as the practice in which men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the welfare of Zion.

-What kinds of priest craft is around us? How can we better notice it and recognize evils around us?
Having the spirit with us, being worthy of the spirit is a key part to it. We need to have the spirit so that the Lord can help us to better understand what is needed and can tell us what we should know and do.

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.
