This week's journey:
Read:
1 Nephi 17-18
Our Heritage pages 21-27 (You can get a copy of Our Heritage from Marni Campbell or your Relief Society president! OR see the linked PDF of Our Heritage!)
Write:
Write about a time when you were sustained by God, or perhaps reflect on a need you have right now for strength. How can you ask God for additional strength?
The past week's readings included Lehi's magnificent and prophetic dream of the Tree of Life. I am continually struck by how contemporary this vision is, particularly of the varied challenges we face on our spiritual journey, including darkness, fear, forgetfulness, embarrassment, and fatigue. Please know that daily reading and reflecting in the scriptures is our iron rod, the answer to each of these challenges.
We also learned this week of the Liahona (1 Nephi 16), another instrument for guiding the travelers through the wilderness. Wouldn't you love to have a compass like this? What is your modern day Liahona? We have our patriarchal blessings to guide us; watch this clip of our prophet Thomas S. Monson as he talks about our patriarchal blessings as our own personal Liahona.

The scriptures and words of our living prophets and inspired leaders can also serve as a Liahona.
The Holy Ghost can also function as a Liahona in our lives.
We love you sisters and hope that you can read, reflect, and write your personal and spiritual history, which can become for you also a guide in times of doubt and darkness.
With love,
Marni Campbell, Michelle Quinn, Theresa Roth, and Jenni Currit

Thanks for adding the Our Heritage pdf of the pages to read...it was difficult to tell the page numbers on the online version.
