"Every ( convert) needs three things, a friend, a responsibility, and nurturing with the "good word of God." It is our duty and opportunity to provide these things."
- President Gordon B Hinckley
What kind of friend are you to converts, members who are new to your ward, or less active? What things do you do to nourish others with the word of the Lord?

Day 71
GET BACK ON SCHEDULE
use your reading chart to find the chapters you still need to read to be caught up through:
Helaman 7
or If you're up to date with your reading, take time to study: Helaman 5

What did Helaman name his sons? Why? Whose name have you taken upon yourself? How were the Lamanites converted through their ministry?

Day 72
Read: Helaman 8-10
Mark: Helaman 8: 4, 7-9
"How we respond to the words of a living prophet when he tells us what we need to know, but would rather not hear, is a test of our faithfulness." - President Ezra Taft Benson

Even though wicked men were arguing against Nephi, some righteous people knew he was prophet and supported him. How can you sustain our living prophet?

Day 73
Read: Helaman 11-12
Mark: Helaman 12:2-3
"Afflictions can soften us and sweeten us, and can be a chastening influence. We often think of shcstiening as something being done to punish us...Divine chastening, however, is a form of learning as its admisnistered at the hands of a loving Father." - Elder Neal A Maxwell

Why do you think it is so much easier to remember the Lord when we suffer, thand when everything is going well? What can you do to remember the Lord even when times are good?

Day 74
Read: Helaman 13-15
Mark: Helaman 14:30-313
"Spiritual maturity is understanding that we cannot blame anybody else for our actions. Some factors may make it harder for us to perform according to God's plan for us, but being accountable for how we use our agency means being answereable for our own behavior." = Sister Elaine Cannon

In what ways do you use your agency to help you to grow?

Day 75
Read: Helaman 16 - 3 Nephi 2
Mark: 3 Nephi 1:12-13

"Gifts of the Spirit which the Lord bestows upon those who believe and obey the gospel of Christ are called sins. That is, their receipt stands as an evidence or sign of the presence of that faith which results from believing the truth. Signs are wonders and miracles; they always and invariably are manifest to and among the faithful saints." - Elder Bruce R McConkie

Why didn't Satan want the faithful Nephites to believe in the signs? What lies does he send today to try to keep you from believing the witness you've received as a result of your faith?

Day 76
Read: 3 Nephi 3-5
Mark:3 Nephi 3:12-14, 4:10

In providing out of home activities for the family, we must us care, otherwise, we could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeds, only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected." - President Boyd K Packer

How can you help your family receive the strength that comes from being "gathered together"?
