Remember
to pray sincerely for the Holy Ghost before studying.

Survey material and think of Questions to prepare yourself to Read. Recite, tell someone about what you learned from reading. Review - for best retention within 24 hours, at one week and one month. Fast Sunday's a good time to review the month's learning.
We will focus on themes of FAITH, REPENTANCE, and REVELATION this time through.

BoM Class 1 assignment:
What I want to remember of introductory pages to Book of Mormon:
• Written to Lamanites, remnant of house of Israel, Jew and Gentile.
• Written for us, not the people of the time.
• J.S.: It’s the most correct book, the keystone of our religion, and a man will get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts than by any other book.
• With testimony of this book through the Holy Ghost, we also know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that J.S. is His revelator and prophet, and the Church of J.C. of LDS is the Lord’s kingdom restored to the earth, preparatory to second coming.
• Many witnesses saw the plates. Three saw Moroni.
• Angels can visit and communicate with us.
• God is willing to have us instructed as much as needed to remember, understand, and obey Him. (Moroni repeated instructions to JS 4 times with same message.)
The Book of Mormon is of God or of the devil. A man could not do it. The devil would not do it. It testifies of Christ. It brings us to Christ.
Faith:
I can trust The Book of Mormon. It comes from God. The Holy Ghost will testify of its truths to me as I seek for it. Its truths will bring me to Christ if I live them. Pres. Benson: It’s of the Lord or of Lucifer.
Repentance:
Title page – “If there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God.” No fault finding.
Revelation:
Moroni visited JS 4 times with same message about BoM.
Witnesses were provided to support JS testimony of the plates – we aren’t always asked to believe without evidence or witnesses.
What stood out the most to me was that JS was visited 4 times by Marconi and the next day he told his father and his father imeadately told him it was the lord and his work. With out question his dad had faith in JS.
