Read: Ether 4-7
Mark: Ether 6:9
"Sometimes...we get nearer to the Lord through music than perhaps through any other thing than prayer." --President J. Reuben Clark, Jr.
"Music is one of the most forceful instruments for governing the mind and spirit of man." --President Boyd K. Packer
To ponder:
in what ways do you use music in your personal worship? How do you use music to help others feel the Lord's influence?

Day 91, August 9, 2014
Read: Ether 1-3
Mark: Ether 3:4-5
"What ever Jesus lays his hand upon lives. If Jesus lays his hands upon a marriage, it lives. If he is allowed to lay his hands upon the family, it lives." --President Howard W. Hunter
To ponder:
Look at the symbolism in the account of the Savior touching the stones that lit the way for the Jaredites. What does this account teach you about the Savior's hand? How have you felt the Lord's hand in your life?

Day 90, August 8, 2014
Read: Mormon 8-9
Mark: Mormon 9:11-12, 21
"The Lord will never forsake or abandon anyone. You may abandon him, but he will never abandon you. You never need to feel that you are alone." --Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
To ponder:
Mormon's ministry ends in these chapters. Pay attention to Moroni's warnings for our day. Righteousness sometimes seems to bring loneliness? Why are we not really as alone as we sometimes feel? In Chapter 9, look for reasons why you can rely on the Lord.

Read: Mormon 5-7
Mark: Mormon 6:16-20
"The tragedy of the Book of Mormon is not what became of the Nephites but what the Nephites became." --Hugh Nibley
To ponder:
What led to the fall of the Nephites? What things do you do each day to stay strong?

Day 88, August 6, 2014
Read: Mormon 2-4
Mark: Mormon 2:12-13
"Full repentance involves a 180-degree turn, and without looking back! In ritual regret, we mourn our mistakes but without mending them. There can be no real repentance without personal suffering and the passage of sufficient time for the needed cleansing and turning...Chastening is often needed until the turning is really under way!" --Elder Neal A. Maxwell
To ponder:
We can be sorry for the wrong reasons (like when we are caught or punished). What can help you be sorry for the right reason?

Day 87, August 5, 2014
Read: 3 Nephi 29-Mormon 1
Mark: Mormon 1:13-15
"[President Brigham Young said] 'I want you to teach the people -- and I want you to follow this counsel yourself -- that they must labor and so live as to obtain the Holy Spirit, for without this you cannot build up the kingdom; without the spirit of God you are in danger of walking in the dark." --President Wilford Woodruff
To ponder:
As a young man, Mormon, enjoyed the blessings of the Lord despite living in a wicked society. How can you keep the Spirit with you regardless of conditions in the world?
