"And I did read many things unto them which were written in the books of Moses; but that I might more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer I did read unto them that which was written by the prophet Isaiah; for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning."

1 Nephi 19:23
Sorry for the M.I.A. last week, but we're back on schedule again, hopefully without any more breaks. ;) Last week's scripture (Matthew 6:24 - found here) was short, but powerful. Both Derek & I got it, but to answer Tanya's question, yes, I frequently find it hard to buckle down and actually perfectly memorize a scripture I have kind of half-baked already in my head. Two things that help me actually do it are 1, knowing I will have to report on Sunday if I did so or not, and 2, thinking of Elder Scott's last general conference talk and how important it is to memorize the scriptures. Also, when you think about the prophets and apostles and even the Savior, they can quote the scriptures perfectly.
I really love last week's scripture, but I've got to bed before Deborah wakes up, so I'll share the thoughts I had about it tomorrow.
Love you! Happy Sabbath!

Hi Amanda- I'm Meredith, derek's cousin. I was wondering if you had your swan princess video from when you were engaged? I work with the yw in our ward and I thought they would get a kick out of seeing it.
Thanks!
