These are from the Seminary book exercises...
1. And it came to pass that I, Aubrey said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commanded.
....hmm when is the last time I did something difficult that the Lord asked me to do? I boar my testimony today. The Lord told me in my patriarchal blessing that I need to bear my testimony. Ever since then it has been difficult. I decided today since I felt the spirit that I needed to be an example to my kids and bear my testimony...so I did. It wasn't an amazing spiritual experience or anything (mostly because everyone was watching Peyton and Brielle on the stand and I was totally distracted. But it was good to get up and bear my testimony since it had been a long time (in testimony meeting at least)
2. The big difference between the 3 times that the brothers tried to get the plates is the first time they relied on chance. The second time they relied on their own ingenuity and the third time they (Nephi) relied 100% by the spirit. I tend to run in the #2 category of going with what I think we should do and have a hard time being guided 100% by the spirit
