Sacrament Meeting
Elder Beus shared how he has come to "delight" in reading the scriptures and shared his favorite stories and how they apply to us. He spoke on how we sometimes avoid doing what we should just as Jonah did when he ran from the Lord and was swallowed by a large fish. He recounted the stories of Nephi and Daniel and how they stayed focused on the Lord and what they knew they should be doing even when facing obstacles and prejudices. In the Book of Mormon the 1 chapter book of Omni there were many authors and all had different reasons for not writing. One felt wicked and not the best for the job. One procrastinated till the end of his life, one only did it because he was told to do so and one decided what was already was done was sufficient and wouldn't do more. The question raised was are we like them.
Elder Billings shared the meaning of likening from the dictionary which was "an act of comparing similarities". He told of building a corn maze with his father and how they had to follow directions exactly and if they did they would end of back where they started. Reading the scriptures is the same. If we read, study and follow the directions given, we will end up back with our Father in Heaven. He shared his favorite scripture and said favorites are usually the ones we relate to, or have "likened" to ourselves, the best.
Personal Study
January 28–February 3
Matthew 3; Mark 1; Luke 3
“Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord”
“Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth” (Luke 3:5; see also Isaiah 40:4). This is a message for all of us, including those who think they cannot change or do not need to change. If something as permanent as a mountain can be flattened, then surely the Lord can help us straighten our own crooked paths (see Luke 3:4–5). As we accept John the Baptist’s invitation to repent and change, we prepare our minds and hearts to receive Jesus Christ so that we too can “see the salvation of God” (Luke 3:6).

Book of Mormon Scripture Study Class
The full time missionaries sponsor a Book of Mormon class.
The class is held on Sunday Evenings from 5-6:00 pm in the Relief Society Room at the Shea Building
The teacher is Daryl Williams of the Mountain View Ward. The lessons are for those who want a better understanding of the Book of Mormon and is suitable for both life-long members and those who do not attend the church, whether members or not. It is ideal for people who do not feel like they ready to attend a worship service, but are interested in the Church. The dress is casual. The class covers the Book of Mormon in one year, so it provides a more in-depth look at the book than typical of a Gospel Doctrine class and makes the class suitable for both long-time students of the scriptures and beginners. Bring a physical copy of all the scriptures and a notebook for your thoughts.
