3 Nephi 1-7 was, for me, a 3 tissue ‘episode.’ Thank you both for all your prayer and preparation in presenting such spiritual and thought provoking messages each week.

I just want to say a quick thank you for the take 5 cards. Monday the 31st my beloved husband and our hero had a stroke. I have had a hard time concentrating and reading is next to impossible. I still wanted to keep up with my scripture study. After struggling for awhile the spirit prompted me to use the cards until things settled a little. I am so thankful to stay connected to my scripture study through this time of challenge. Thank you.
A few weeks before President Heber J. Grant passed away, one of the Brethren went to visit him in his home. Before the man left, President Grant prayed, “O God, bless me that I shall not lose my testimony and keep faithful to the end!”
Never apologize for exuberant joy in the gospel. We love that you love. We relish your joy because we feel it out here in the dark and we crave the light of Christ, whose light shines so much brighter in these, our days-2020. Celebrate the good news and we will celebrate with you!
Thank you for your wonderful insights! I have a question about the sound quality of the last couple of your presentations….you have become very “echo-y”. It’s kind of annoying to listen to. Sorry
Thank you so much for giving hope and a desire to stay strong in the faith. I loved,loved,loved this lesson and know that the Book of Mormon and the Spirit and teachers like you both will get us through these crazy times ❤️
Can you guys make playlists out of your videos? Like a playlist for the New Testament, Book of Mormon etc. I want to share you guys with a friend, but just the New Testament stuff because they’re not into LDS or the Book of Mormon. I know if I send her the link to your channel, they’ll nope out.
Love the message. I just can’t keep up when you are skipping around the scriptures and also how fast you say the verse and chapter you are going to. This lesson was especially hard for me. Maybe I’m tired or something. But you would say for example, verse 21 and not say the chapter so I would be hurrying to search any chapter that has a verse 21 to see if that was what you read. It also happened when you were talking about a verse in Chapter 4, then you just read it without telling the verse. I was lost for about 5 minutes at one point and couldn’t find where you were reading from. I don’t want to sound like I am complaining. I need it at a slower pace. Thank you
EVERYONE…Please listen to this episode. It is CRUCIAL in these crazy times we are living in. [Thanks guys for your strong testimonies and you steadfastness and conviction to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with us. You are so loved.]
I started to notice the echo from last week’s “episode” and this one has the same issue too. Maybe you have changed your microphone? Btw, I’ve always loved the message you shared. Thank you.
Around 18 minutes in, you mention Jesus coming unto his own. I love that lately I have realized he claims anyone who claims him, who believes or want to believe. It’s one of my favorite topics to research. Every single person can be counted as Jesus” own.
I think its interesting to notice that Nephi receives the confirmation of the sign, but it never directly says that he is able to communicate that confirmation to anyone. As far as I can tell from the text, those faithful members stand there together as families, waiting to either be executed or for the light to continue, not knowing which it will be, until it actually occurs. THAT’ S faith.
We are in Belgium…it was the biggest surprise to have the sun go down around 10 and get dark-dark at like 11pm. And it rises at 5, so it took us months to actually see the night sky ? So next time you’re in Belgium…come in the summer and you’ll get the long days.
I don’t know why you write on the chalkboard and then stand in front of it. You can both stand on each side so we could see was written and make it a lot nicer for us who are watching.
Have a post idea? If you'd like to see about providing a guest post on MLH, contact us and tell us about it. We love to post articles that help people live fuller, more vibrant lives. Bonus if it speaks specifically to the uniqueness of living a faithful LDS lifestyle.
