This week's journey:
Read: 2 Nephi 9, 29
Our Heritage pages 33-39 (link here and chapters attached in the email)
Write: Write about a latter-day prophecy that is particularly important to you right now
Dear sisters,
Last week we read 2 Nephi 3-5, which contains the psalm of Nephi, Nephi's beautiful reflection on his faith and conversion. You also had a chance to ask someone in your family about her or his conversion story. We hope that this gave you a chance to reflect on the nature of your faith, your ever-growing testimony, and beauties of spiritual gifts. You also had a chance to look at some historical documents, including letters from Joseph Smith to his wife Emma while he was leading Zion's Camp.
What strength do you draw from these stories? Nephi's many, many trials led directly to his deep testimony. Zion's Camp, though in some ways a failure given the initial goal, built strength and vision in the early latter-day saints. Those in our lives who can describe their conversion, however it happened, at whatever point, to whatever degree, likely had to endure doubt and questioning before they reached out to know God. How is your own story of faith continually unfolding?
We hope that you have a beautiful week of reading, writing, and discovering your own strength.
With love,
Marni Campbell, Theresa Roth, Michelle Quinn, and Jenni Currit
