Day 78
GET BACK ON SCHEDULE
Use your reading chart to find the chapters you still need to read to be caught up through:
3 Nephi 8 or
If your're up to date with your reading take time to study: Helaman 13

What did Samuel the Lamanite preach to the wicked Nephites before the Savior came? What are mofern prphets teaching us as we prepare for Christ's second coming?

Day 79
Read: 3 Nephi 9-10
Mark: 3 Nephi 9:13-15
"An atonement was made. Ever and always it offers amnesty from transgression and from death if we will but repent. Repentance is the escape clause in it all. Repentance is the key with which we can unlock the prison from inside. We hold that key within our hands...Humbly I lay claim upon the atonement of Christ. I find no shame in kneeling down in worship of or Father and His Son". _ President Boyd K Packer
What can the Lord do for you wen you repent?

Day 80
Read 3 Nephi 11-12
Mark 3 Nephi 11: 10-11
:Look to the temple of the Lord as the great symbol of your membership...As we attend the temple, we learn more richly and deeply the purpose of life and the significance of the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us make the temple, with temple worship and temple covenants and temple marriage, our ultimate earthly goal and the supreme mortal experience." -President Howard W Hunter
The Nephites were gathered at the temple when the Savior visited them. How are you preparing to go to the temple?

Day 81
Read 3 Nephi 13-16
mark: 3 Nephi 15:21, 24
"Aren't we rather prone to see the limitations and weaknesses of our neighbors? Yet that is contrary to the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ...If we have the spirit of fault finding...that never comes as the result of the companionship of the Spirity of our Heavenly Father and is always harmful." - President George Albert Smith
The Savior gave teachings to the Nephites similar to the Sermon on the Mount. He warned not to judge. What helps you to always look for the best in others and not be critcial?

Day 82
Read: 3 Nephi 17-19
Mark: 3 Nephi 18:6-7, 11
"We are commanded to repent of our sins and to come to the Lord with a broken heart and a contrite spirit and partake of the sacrament in compliance with its covenants. When we renew our baptismal covenants in this way, the Lord renews the cleansing effect of our baptism. In this way we are made clean and can always have His Spirit to be with us. The importance of this evident in the Lord's commandment that we partake of the sacrament each week."
-Elder Dallin H Oaks
How can taking the sacrament each week help you to be just as clean as when you were recognized?
