I love the scripture in Alma 26:27 where the Lord tells the sons of Mosiah to "bear with patience thine afflictions and I will give you success." I feel like the Lord is talking to me in this scripture that he is lifting me up in my trials and telling me that I am doing well, but that I have to endure these hardships a little longer so that I can be an instrument in the Lord's hands. It is the greatest advice I could get in my hour of need.

Day 50- Monday, May 23
Today is a  catch-up day! Make sure that you are caught up in your reading up through Alma 26, if you are  all caught up then you can take the time to study Alma 17 and ponder these questions: What are the things that made the sons of Mosiah successful missionaries? What is your duty in sharing the gospel now and preparing for future full-time missionary service?

Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah were so successful in their missionary efforts because the prayed and fasted for the spirit and teaching with the spirit is what makes a missionary successful because missionaries don't change people, the spirit of Christ changes people. It is really important for us to study the things that these men did as missionaries so that we can be successful missionaries as well.

Day 51- Tuesday, May 24
Read-Alma 27-29
Mark- Alma 27:27
Quote-True converts are those who "listen to the teachings and testimonies of missionaries and change their lives, leaving the past behind them, and moving forward into a new life." ~President Hinckley
Question- What is zeal? What difference does it make to have "zeal towards God"?

President Hinckley's quote is true of all of us. We are all converts to the gospel weather we were born into the covenant or not and each day, in every moment we make the decision to stay true to the covenants that we made or to stray from what we know is true. So every day we need to repent, change our lives and move forward towards Christ.

  1. The book of Revelation chapter 12 is very precise: It is woman that delivers the true word John1:1, Rev 12:5, Rev 12:13 who restores Acts 3:21 all things to the world before Christ’s return. This woman exposes the lies of Satan who has deceived the whole world Rev 12:9. This woman creates a new thing in the earth by fulfilling God's promise to Eve Gen 3:15, Jer 31:22, Isa 14:16. Moses and Elijah are together with the word Matt 17:3 they all three are in this one woman. She is like unto Moses Num 12:3. She was raised up Acts 3:22 from the Laodicean church that becomes lukewarm because they refused to hear her Rev 3:14-17. She is bold like Elijah Matt 17:11, Luke 1:17. As Elijah was alone declaring the true God to the people so also her witness alone turns the hearts of the fathers to the children Mal 4:5-6 to prepare a people for the Lords return before the great and dreadful day of the Lord Matt 17:3, Luke 9:30. Those who will not hear Acts 3:23 the true word of God she now deliveres to the world free of charge, as a witness, at the heel of time from the wilderness Rev 12:6 will not be allowed inside the walls of God’s coming kingdom from heaven Rev 21. This true testimony of the true value of the blood of the Lamb delivers the truth that not one child of God will be put in a hell fire no matter what their sins. It never entered the heart or mind of God to ever do such a thing Jer 7:31, Jer 19:5. God created evil Isa 45:7 to teach his children the knowledge of good and evil Rom 8:7, Gen 3:22 so that at their resurrection they become a god Matt 22:29-30, Ps 82:6. Prove all things. You cannot rightly judge this unless you read all that has been written by this woman first Pro 18:13. http://minigoodtale.wordpress.com Check out the bruising of Satan and the reason for all of mankind’s sufferings.
