If you want to learn about the Nephites and where they landed on the Americas and have their whole history laid out read this.
Discourse by Elder Orson Pratt, delivered in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Sunday Afternoon, February 11, 1872.

“Consider how we use our time in the choices we make in viewing television, playing video games, surfing the Internet, or reading books or magazines. Of course it is good to view wholesome entertainment or to obtain interesting information. But not everything of that sort is worth the portion of our life we give to obtain it. Some things are better, and others are best. When the Lord told us to seek learning, He said, ‘Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom’”

President Dallin H. Oaks

We care not only about the work our missionaries are doing to invite others to come unto Jesus Christ, but also about who they are becoming in the process.

If you missed it today in Sunday School or want to watch it again, President D. Todd Christofferson and Elder Quentin L. Cook hosted a discussion on religious freedom celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.

What was your biggest takeaway?

@PeacemakingSt Thanks for posting this! Last I checked I couldn’t find it on youtube or the church website not sure why it wasn’t posted more prominently.

@Latterdaytruth My theory is it was where the gulf of America now is and it was taken into the heavens with the city of Enoch.

@jmbrim3 Thanks for sharing. I must have muted all the people or maybe just not followed them if there have been discussions. Some things shouldn’t be discussed publicly for all to see. We need to remember how to keep things sacred. Proper time proper place.

@jmbrim3 It’s crazy to me to see all of the theory crafters out there trying to make sense of things when it’s stated so clearly by one of the twelve.

[Light in Zion @LightInZion]

@jmbrim3 We have a lot straight from the brethren. https://t.co/jw06MHg4bL

@PurpleKoya21 Prayer always works if you do it correctly.
The purpose of prayer isn’t to change God’s mind but to bring ourselves into alignment with him and receive blessings he is already willing to give but are contingent upon us asking for them.

@LDSBoomstick This rule existed in the 90s as well. I remember saving up my Pizza Hut vouchers for when we traveled to a bigger town.

@sizennaa Reminds me of the blue hot springs at Yellowstone

I loved the #HearHim videos the Church put out a few years ago.

Listen to President Oaks (@OaksDallinH) explain how he receives impressions from the Spirit. 👇

"When you get an impression, act upon it, however unusual it seems or however inadequate you feel in following it."

@jesse_k_fox We aren’t mormons though

@MamaCAllen The Gospel principle is the purpose of the story not the other way around also knowing is good but living the principles is best

[Light in Zion @LightInZion]

This is an excellent talk!

[Light in Zion @LightInZion]

@theRockyRay Yeah nicely put

[Light in Zion @LightInZion]

@tanpukunokami What caused Japan’s corners to disappear at such an alarming rate?

[Light in Zion @LightInZion]

@theRockyRay I’ve had similar experiences. It does really seem like satan knows that the lesson or meeting will be extra impactful that day and is trying hard to stop you.

When we obey what we are taught in the temple with all our hearts, it makes possible our receiving the gift of peace. 

During the Lindon Utah Temple dedication today, I shared that in the temples of God, we are taught the simple truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ: The Plan of Salvation, our relationship to the loving God who created us, and our divine potential to be with the Savior again, to live in glory and peace forever.  

Each time you return to the temple you will, by the Spirit, learn more of Him and of His Father. The peace He promises us can come, even as the storms of life beat upon us.

Those feelings of peace can go with us in our busy lives, if we are faithful to the covenants we make here. Trials, challenges, and heartaches will surely come to all of us. None of us are immune from “thorns of the flesh.” Yet, as we attend the temple and remember our covenants, we will feel peace from the Lord.
