The Lord Did Go Before Them
Ether 2 (Éter 2) This chapter is resonating deeply with me this morning. It is how closely the Lord stood with them as he directed them along the way to where they needed to go, and how far they needed to go before they reached their destination. How many barges He had them build and …
Porque Me Has Suplicado Todo Este Largo Tiempo
Ether 1 (Éter 1) El enfoque de mi estudio en esta mañana es en como el Señor relata con su pueblo. Siento que esto es el enfoque de Moroni también.

Clasped in the Arms of Jesus
Mormon 5 (en español) Versículo 2 termine con el frase: –luchaban por sus vidas sin invocar a aquel Ser que los creó.– Aquí tenemos la distinción entre los justos y los inicuos. Todos tenemos que luchar por nuestras vidas. Pero la diferencia es en el acto de creer en Dios y clamar a Él para …
From This Time Forth
Mormon 4 (en español) The first thought that is impressed upon me as I read about this state of blood, warfare, and degeneration, is that these are the conditions under which Mormon acts as editor of the Book of Mormon. It is fresh upon his mind what he is trying to avoid in compiling a …
