CFM The Book of Mormon: Alma Chapter 14 & General Conference Goals

LDSGirlDoes Come Follow Me: Early morning study and reflection on The Book of Mormon. Hold your peace. Fighting back accomplishes nothing.
Name of the Week: God of Miracles
Hymn of the Week: I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go
In the same vein of our New Testament challenge we're going to carry on with likening the scriptures to us, finding the passages that speak to us and creating statements that will help us incorporate those verses into our daily lives. We're also going to focus on Christ-like attributes. Each month focuses on a specific attribute of Christ such as hope, faith, charity, long-suffering. Each month that will be the focus of the scripture study to find those attributes of Christ in the scripture or how to develop them. On the weeks where there's not enough scripture study to make it possible to have enough meat each day to study we'll be supplementing in conference talks that have to do with the Christ-like attribute of the month. I have selected three talks per attribute but sometimes there will be more than 3 talks per month. I've left those to your choosing. You can choose a talk based on the Christ-like attribute of that month or whatever you're feeling you would like to supplement. If you'd like a free digital of the reading schedule I'm using feel free to email me at [e-mail]
🎉 General Conference Goals 🎉
During General Conference I like to set goals for the next 6 months. In the April Conference it was impressed upon me that I need to strengthen my relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, improve my prayers, to learn my covenants and to "live inside them." To achieve these goals I've set a plan that I believe Heavenly Father has guided me towards.
⭐First Goals: Is to study the names of Christ that I have found while doing my personal scripture study. Each Sunday I will randomly pick from a list I have created, study all I can about it, and pray that name back to Him. If it's "Deliverer", for example then I will call Jesus and Heavenly Father "My Deliverer" in my prayers and look for ways He/They are that to me each day.
⭐ Second Goal: Is to pray a hymn. One day while listening to hymns I was like "That's a prayer. I wish I could pray like that." So, I've gone through the hymnal and TH-cam subscriber suggestions and picked 24 hymns I would love to model my prayers after. I will be listening to these hymns, praying them and finding ways to incorporate their meanings into my prayer life.
⭐Third Goal: Is to go learn my covenants and "live inside them." In the most basic sense I know what the covenants I've made with Heavenly Father are but in Conference I felt the inspiration to really learn what they are and to incorporate those principles more deliberately in my life. I'll start on this one once I get a handle on the other two.
If you would like to join me in these goals I would be so honored! If you want the lists I've created you can email me and I can send you a digital copy. Thank you for joining me on my journey!

I listened to Elder Holland's talk and Elder Neilson's talk. I got a different impression from Elder Neilson, besides missionary work. He shared that the experiences he had seen & heard have molded his testimony that this is the true and living Church of Jesus Christ and that God loves all his children. Why don't we pick Elder Holland's talk for tomorrow! He is so cool and sweet and your favorite. Maybe go over your thoughts for Sunday lesson. ❤😊❤

Today is the 180th anniversary of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith at Carthage Jail. I've visited there several times and am currently listening to a Church History podcast on the entire history. So just think of those who conspired and contributed to the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum. Anyway- I chose verse 1! The scriptures can give us peace. I believe Joseph was at peace. So sad the evil that killed the innocent! ❤😊❤

Those poor women and children that were burned while Alma and Amulek stood by and watched. They could have saved them, but Alma obeyed the spirit to not save them. I don’t believe I would have been able to obey the spirit in that situation. It just doesn’t seem right. However, as you stated our eternal salvation is more valuable than the temporary mortal body and those who suffered for His sake will receive the greatest glory.
