Hey guys, I'm excited to be here, this is my first time on this channel and I'm excited for the come follow me because I got baptized about 3 months ago and this is the first come follow me and luckily for me it's the book of Mormon because that's what I'm reading lol. But anyway my sister missionaries told me about this channel.❤
How exciting and congratulations on your wonderful decision to be baptized! You’ll love this channel. There might be a lot of stuff that seems confusing. Be patient. Ask questions. We’re all here for you💕💕
Grace’s insight about the angel saying look is remarkable to me. If you want to see the condescension of God, just look. It’s around us. If you want to see the marvelous miracles of a divine creator, just look, the evidences are everywhere. And that is not only true for good and wonderful things. it is also true of the gross, and the inhumane. Our testimony will be fortified the things upon which we choose to look. Two sailboats on the same lake, blown by the same wind, will have two very different destinations depending on which direction they are pointed.
As I have been reading this week scriptures, I have been feeling an excitement that I have not felt the many other times I’ve read the Book of Mormon. Now as watch and listen to you, I absolutely love Grace’s energy as she’s basically jumping up and down with enthusiasm, and I totally understand why. Thank you for all you are doing and teaching
Just listening to the birth of the saviour. On Christmas Eve I finished studying Revelation and when I took the Sacrament I was so aware that Jesus had left all that glory and wonderfulness to come to a smelly stable. After 53 years I finally felt what the condescension of God really means
You two led me to see a great principle of faith that's always been there that I only noticed when you talked about the angel asking Nephi what he wanted. Once he answers, the angel asks if he believes in what he has asked for. Once Nephi confirms his faith in that thing, the miracle unfolds, giving Nephi all he had asked, and I believe much more than he ever thought he would receive. "And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you". 3 Ne 18:20
The read it, live it calendar is my most favorite thing ever!!! What a great addition! I want to buy them for everyone I know! I hope you will keep that around for years to come 🎉
Our office has all decided to talk about Come Follow Me on Fridays. IT'S THE BEST! Our university student employees are amazing and teach, us who are more "mature", so much! After we have our discussion we put our Printout picture on the Mercies of the Lord Poster. We have all enjoyed getting your insights from the scriptures!! I'm pretty lucky to work in a place where we can do this.
I never knew this meaning of condescension. That really struck home to me. For Christ to come to us was a big deal, but to know what else he gave up besides coming here knowing he would die. That took it to a new level.
I love how you are pointing out all of the things we learn about God throughout your presentations of the Book of Mormon. That is actually what I am focusing on this year as we study the Book of Mormon: "What do I learn about God from this verse/scripture?" I feel an unusual excitement to study the Book of Mormon!
in my prayers this morning. I asked heavenly father if he would show me how to love more if you would help me understand what it means to love and then I watched this episode right after.
Grace, as you were testifying, I could feel the Spirit witness to me of the truthfulness of your words. I truly didn't want you to stop. Thank you. Thank you both.
Listening to David and Grace talk about God’s involvement in history makes perfect sense. It is, after all, His story! His story of His dealings with His children and His creations. I will never think of the word “history” in the same way!
I love the encouragement to apply the tree of life to my life, the dark wilderness, the river, the mist, the iron rod, the building, the people, people who take us away, and the people who bring us back. The tree of life story is in the book of Mormon, Lehi’s dream. Here is my story, I’d love to hear yours. The dark wilderness that can lead me away from the tree of life is a family that used to be near and dear to us. Due to a divorce, the mist creeps in from the river to distract me with thoughts of fear, worries and anxieties, and sometimes actions from others. I am quickly reminded of the tender mercy sent from a loving, Heavenly Father to give me hope. I quickly change my thoughts as if I don’t, my thoughts may snowball and I may find myself drowning in the river. If I allow my pride to manifest, I may make it to the building that is across the river, the building represents my actions, actions to act from deep hurt that can quickly turn into a rage of anger I didn’t know existed in me. As I stand in the building, looking at the people progressing on the path, partaking of the delicious fruit. I am reminded of the love of God, I am reminded that the Savior Jesus Christ perfectly obeyed every law that was given, every thought, every action and every deed. He did perfectly, and yet, He was punished as if He broke every law as a terrorizing criminal. The Savior Jesus Christ did this for me, he did this for you. There is no ocean deep enough, He is unable to pull us out of the deep ocean when we call out to Him and return to Him, remembering his grace and mercy. As I have a desire to reach up to Him, He can pull me out of the river. I then am able to look for people who can encourage and bring me hope to my life. As I work through the mist and find the path to turn once again, and grab the iron rod and cling to it, wrapping my arms and my legs around the rod. Watching my thoughts I can get to the tree and partake of the delicious fruit myself, and continue to have faith that no matter what happens, He can bring me what I need in the very moment that I need it, courage , strength, peace, joy, and even laughter while working through the tough trials of life.
I appreciate being reminded that we have a picture of the Savior’s life because we do have the New Testament and that Jesus’s life showed us what love looked like and continues to look like.
Just so you know, David, the daily section of the app is our favorite too!! I tell my friends about it and how easy it makes family scripture study. Thank you, thank you!❤
45:11-we know it is referring to Columbus. See this quote by Ezra Taft Benson: That man, of course, was Christopher Columbus, who testified that he was inspired in what he did.... The explorer Christopher Columbus wrote: "Our Lord unlocked my mind, sent me upon the sea, and gave me fire for the deed. Those who heard of my enterprise called it foolish, mocked me, and laughed. But who can doubt but that the Holy Ghost inspired me. President Ezra Taft Benson, The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, 577. Another resource is the Book of Mormon Student Manual for Institute, Chapter 4. Also, a great article on Christopher Columbus is found in the Ensign: Columbus and the Hand of God, De LaMar Jensen, Ensign, October 1992.
Another place the Church acknowledged that it is Christopher Columbus is the 2020 Come Follow Me manual: "Who was the man Nephi saw whom the Spirit “wrought upon” to go “forth upon the many waters”? Nephi saw that the Holy Ghost would inspire Christopher Columbus to make his famous voyage to the Americas. On March 14, 1493, Columbus wrote of this voyage: “These great and marvelous results are not to be attributed to any merit of mine … ; for that which the unaided intellect of man could not compass, the Spirit of God has granted to human exertions, for God is wont to hear the prayers of His servants who love His precepts even to the performance of apparent impossibilities” (The Annals of America [Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc., 1976], 1:5)." Come Follow Me, Book of Mormon, 2020, January 20-26, 1 Nephi 11-15.
G R A C E!!!!!! PLEASE SLOW DOWN. We know you love the scriptures and are passionate about them, however, it’s really hard to understand you and get what you’re saying when you talk a million miles an hour. And you wouldn’t stumble over your words when you read too. We LOVE “Don’t Miss This “. Thank you both for sharing your love and knowledge of the scriptures with the rest of us!!!❤❤❤
You can also go to the wheel and slow everything down. I usually listen at 1.5 speed…you may enjoy .75 speed. I am a fast talker and listener but I know not everyone is…
I think it is significant what laman and Lemuel said to that, “We have not; for the Lord maketh no such thing known unto us.” They did not believe that the Lord talks to them
15:53 We sometimes forget to think from Laman and Lemuel's perspective. They tried getting the plates in all legality and failed. Here goes Nephi who kills Laban and gets the plates by deceiving Zoram. I can see why they forgot the Lord because all they may see is that Nephi got the plates by "his own craftiness". No wonder that later they wanted to kill him because they may think that Nephi might try to kill them to get his way and rule over them.
But, what’s really interesting is that Nephi had full right to slay him. In an earlier verse (I forget which one), it says that Laban basically kicked them out when they offered their valuables, and kept those valuables. In that time, stealing was punishable by death. Also, Nephi was commanded to kill Laban.
Thank you so much for all you do to help me and my family come closer to Christ with your lessons and resources. 💛 Who did the beautiful art for the mercies poster?
Isn’t it incredible?!? - like you are saying- God and Jesus use generative language with us, rather than formulaic. “What desirest thou?” Do we follow their example when we pray?
Grace. Darlin. You're wonderful and so insightful but CUTE???? Can't we find another adjective for some pretty incredible prophetic experiences. I know I am old but when you use 'cute' I see dimples, bows, and pink cheeks.😊
words are funny huh? to some a word means one thing and to some another. just know everytime you hear it cute=tender, thoughtful, sweetly deliberate, overly kind
Imagine how Laman and Lemuel would feel if they had known and understood how their names and their story would be told and known by so many people in the latter days. I think they might have made some changes just for the sake of their reputation. Nobody wants to be the bad guy. Yet, if they had known and changed, it would have been for the sake of pride, not for the love of God.
When Grace was defining condescension, she said it was a “voluntary descent from ___.” I listened to it several times but could not make out what she said. Can anyone help here?
I’ve been using the app for a couple years but this year I haven’t been able to get into it. I tried getting a new password and it still wouldn’t work. Any ideas anyone? Thanks for all you do!
you might ask someone at that store. they will know best. they are also available online so i know there are some-just don’t know the shipping schedules to each individual store
yep sorry about that-it just helps a lot of people who are asking questions on where and how to get things. it solves the problem of us having to answer hundreds of emails. a beginning of the year thing :) also there are time stamps and chapter breaks so you can always skip ahead if you wanted to. thanks for the feedback. trying our best :)
I look forward to every Monday to learn something new. I felt the spirit so strongly through the screen during the segment of God's love. I've been going through a healing journey and trying to be compassionate toward myself. As you guys shared your thoughts, the lyrics from "Let me love you" by Sia came to mind. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I felt like crying throughout the video😂 , but I wanted to journal so..... 🥹📓 ✍️😭

How exciting and congratulations on your wonderful decision to be baptized! You’ll love this channel. There might be a lot of stuff that seems confusing. Be patient. Ask questions. We’re all here for you💕💕
I would heart* your comment lol but I appreciate it, thank you@@terrisaldate3044

Never thought of it this way (He walked our walk so we can walk His)
I love the point where every time the Angel says to Nephi “Look”, the Angel shows Nephi a picture of LOVE.
Grace, as you were testifying, I could feel the Spirit witness to me of the truthfulness of your words. I truly didn't want you to stop. Thank you. Thank you both.
34:40 -- "He's a generational God. He's a day-to-day, everyday God."
I love that!!

Beautifully expressed. ❤
Grace! I love your hair up! Super cute💕. We appreciate you being here and helping us learn!!
I love “Heaven is going to interrupt the story of mortality again and again.”
I appreciate being reminded that we have a picture of the Savior’s life because we do have the New Testament and that Jesus’s life showed us what love looked like and continues to look like.
I love the question , when has God interrupted in my life? After pondering the question, my answer was every time He sends me a tender mercy.
As usual you knock it out of the park ! I understand the story better now.
It's not one or the other. It's hard truth and ridiculous grace to be loved. Truly loved and known by you..
Just remembered to subscribe ❤️ thanks guys

Grace is amazing. And she wouldn’t be Grace any other way. She is so excited about what she teaches it bursts out of her full speed. Go Grace
Grace doesn't speak fast at all. Slow down the speed for you. That will help you catch everything she says. I love her enthusiasm!
I was thinking the same thing! She seemed faster this time than usual...
So good. Thank you very much😍👏
Thank you for sharing this amazing lesson ❤ Have a great week ❤
0:21 seconds In I rewound cause I missed it, lol Thanks for the knowledge.
I think it is significant what laman and Lemuel said to that, “We have not; for the Lord maketh no such thing known unto us.” They did not believe that the Lord talks to them
What a cute lesson❤️
I often change “must” to “can,” myself, too. I just respond better to it.
15:53
We sometimes forget to think from Laman and Lemuel's perspective. They tried getting the plates in all legality and failed. Here goes Nephi who kills Laban and gets the plates by deceiving Zoram. I can see why they forgot the Lord because all they may see is that Nephi got the plates by "his own craftiness". No wonder that later they wanted to kill him because they may think that Nephi might try to kill them to get his way and rule over them.

Does anyone know if you purchase the app subscription if you can share it with your teenagers?
Thank you so much for all you do to help me and my family come closer to Christ with your lessons and resources. 💛 Who did the beautiful art for the mercies poster?
Isn’t it incredible?!? - like you are saying- God and Jesus use generative language with us, rather than formulaic. “What desirest thou?” Do we follow their example when we pray?
Grace. Darlin. You're wonderful and so insightful but CUTE???? Can't we find another adjective for some pretty incredible prophetic experiences. I know I am old but when you use 'cute' I see dimples, bows, and pink cheeks.😊
words are funny huh? to some a word means one thing and to some another. just know everytime you hear it cute=tender, thoughtful, sweetly deliberate, overly kind
Only Atonement. Can explain a perfect Love
Would anyone know the name of the picture behind David??? It looks like a Greg Olsen but haven’t been able to find it. TIA! 💕
Imagine how Laman and Lemuel would feel if they had known and understood how their names and their story would be told and known by so many people in the latter days. I think they might have made some changes just for the sake of their reputation. Nobody wants to be the bad guy. Yet, if they had known and changed, it would have been for the sake of pride, not for the love of God.
When Grace was defining condescension, she said it was a “voluntary descent from ___.” I listened to it several times but could not make out what she said. Can anyone help here?
Disregard-I figured it out with closed captions. A voluntary descent from rank.
Grace! Your BoM is so cute! Did you make it yourself or get it custom done?
Where can I get that picture of Christ to the left of the TV? Is there a name or artist I can search? ❤
It’s on Etsy❤️
