Day 60
Read: Alma 47-49
Mark: Alma 48: 11-13, 17
"Be true to your own convictions. You know what is right, and you know what is wrong. You know when you are doing the propert thing...We need not fear as long as we have in our lives the power that comes from righteously living by the truth - President Gordon B Hinckley

The lamanites did not want to go to battle against the Nephites, but they also did not want to displease the king (Alma 47:2) Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to do the right thing, but were afraid you would displease someone? Why is it always better to do the right thing than to worry about what others might think of you?

Day 61
Read: Alma 50-51
Mark: Alma 50:19
"Mormon wants to teach what will be of most worth to us and his use of the words thus and thus we see make the lessons easier to recognize and understand. Pay close attention to the "thus we see" phrases in the Book of Mormon. here Mormon wants you to understand that the Lord is keeping His word to Lehi and blessing the Nephites with prosperity when they keep the commandments." - Elder Henry B Eyring

In what ways has the Lord kept his word to you?

Day 62
Read: Alma 52-54
mark: Alma 53:20-21
"In th espiritual battles you are waging, I see you as today's sons of Helaman" - President Ezra Taft Benson

Notice how Mormon describes these young men. How are you living so that you can be likened to the stripling warriors?

Day 63
Read: Alma 55-56
Mark: Alma 56:47-48
"We need more mothers who know the truth, whose children do not doubt their mothers know it." - Elder Neal A Maxwell

What important lessons have you learned from your mother?

Day 64
GET BACK ON SCHEDULE
Use your reading chart to find the chapters you still need to read to be caught up through:
Alma 56 or
If you're up to date with your reading, take time to study: Alma 42

What things does Alma teach about the plan of salvation? How can God be "a perfect, just God and a merciful God also?
