Chapter 6 1 Nephi 19-22

I actually got to teach this class as a sub.....it was a great privilege! Whenever we start talking about 2 sets of plates, as in 19:1-6, I am so touched to realize how our Father in Heaven knows ALL things, and is able to make provisions ahead that His work will go forth as needed. He already knew that in a couple thousand years Martin Harris was going to be disobedient and lose those 116 pages which were part of the large plates of Nephi. It was extra work for Nephi and he didn't even know why he was asked to make these extra plates, but he was obedient. With this realization, why do we ever let ourselves worry or fret about things? Fear and worry are such a waste of time...and truly a lack of faith! We discussed this in class....it was nice. Basically we just need to go forward each day, doing the things the Lord asks.....prayer with our spouse, our family, and individual...scripture STUDY (differs from "reading"...it's what we are doing), trying to be the best parents and companion we can, repenting, serving others,...all this Easy stuff (haha!!) and THEN just trusting our Father in Heaven and our Savior. They really have it all worked out for us if we will just let them. That is truly my testimony!! Study the manual with the scriptures.....isn't it just soooo good? Mom
