1 Nephi 6-9

Lesson Quotes:
David A. Bednar 

“The greatest manifestation of God’s love for His children is the mortal ministry, atoning sacrifice, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fruit on the tree can be considered a symbol for the blessings of the Savior’s Atonement.” ( “Come and See,” Ensign, Nov. 2014, 109).

President Boyd K. Packer
“You may think that Lehi’s dream or vision has no special meaning for you, but it does. You are in it; all of us are in it.”(Boyd K. Packer, “Finding Ourselves in Lehi’s Dream,” Ensign or Liahona, Aug. 2010, 22).

Sister Julie B. Beck
“As I meet with young single adults around the world, I ask them, ‘Why does the First Presidency care so much about you and provide so many resources for you?’....

“These are some of the answers I get: ‘We are future Church leaders.’ ‘We need training so we can stay strong.’ ‘Our testimonies are strengthened in our seminary and institute classes.’ ‘We need to meet other great Latter-day Saint youth.’ ‘We are the hope of the future.’ I have rarely heard, ‘So I will someday be a better father or a better mother.’ …

“Many of our youth are losing confidence in the institution of families. They’re placing more and more value on education and less and less importance on forming an eternal family. Many don’t see forming families as a faith-based work. This generation will be called upon to defend the doctrine of the family as never before. If they don’t know it, they can’t defend it” (“Teaching the Doctrine of the Family,” 12, 14, 17).

Elder Marvin J. Ashton
“Sometimes when we are asked to be obedient, we do not know why, except that Lord has commanded….Nephi followed instructions even though he didn’t fully understand the wise purpose.  His obedience resulted in blessings to mankind all over the world” (Marvin J. Ashton, “Who Will Forefeit the Harvest?”, Ensign, Nov. 1978).

Enos

So let me let you in on a little secret about Sister Coleman, my favorite thing about my job is the students.  I miss you guys something terrible and have spent the last week pondering, praying, and thinking about what more I could do for you given our new current circumstances.  As I continued to think about this over the week and spent time pondering like Enos I was reminded that I already had a format where I can share with you each week or each day.  This blog has been used for quotes or other cool facts so you could copy and paste things into gospel library as a class.  However, with current "quarantine" I am going to change the format of this blog.  You are invited every day through the week, Monday through Friday, to come here and see some of Sister Coleman's thoughts, videos, or cool things she found in her study.  As always no pressure to use this resource I just thought it might help us all feel a little less alone and isolated. So, today we wil...

Update on Life

I sit here in my home office, which is more like a small corner of my bedroom, this Friday morning watching the sun come up over the majestic mountains I will no longer get to ski this spring.  I can't believe all that has transpired in one week.  Just last Friday I was starting my A-day classes so excited to talk about Jacob 5 and the allegory of the olive tree and the sweet message of a loving Savior who keeps laboring over us, his trees. Little did I know that by that afternoon school state wide would be put on a mandatory dismissal leaving us seminary teachers scrambling to set up and an online learning plan and platform in the coming week. This last week brought a health issue that usually sends me to the ER but left me wondering if I should self treat at home, I chose the later. The spring skiing season was cancelled leaving my kids morning a missed last club race, soccer, and baseball were also delayed. Then I had to try and figure out this work from home 8 hours a da...

Matthew 5

Lesson Quotes: President Deiter F. Uchtdorf “So often we get caught up in the illusion that there is something just beyond our reach that would bring us happiness: a better family situation, a better financial situation, or the end of a challenging trial. “… External circumstances don’t really matter or determine our happiness. “… We determine our happiness” (“Of Regrets and Resolutions,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2012, 23).
