This morning I've sat and enjoyed watching and listening and smelling the rain. I remember my first summer home from college I even tried to record the sound of the rain and thunder because I had missed it so much. Watching the drops wash away the dust that has accumulated over the last month and intensify the color of the leaves and flowers has reminded me of what we've been reading (2 Nephi 6-10) this past week. Just like the rain has cleaned away the dust and quenched the water starved ground and foliage, so does the infinite atonement of the Savior cleanse our lives and quench our parched souls when we use our agency to choose it. And just as Isaiah symbolically describes, the Lord will take the personal waste places, wildernesses, and deserts of our lives and turn them into Edens when we turn to Him.
Want some beautifully simple advice on how to live your life? "Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy."

My favorite vs out of this weeks reading is in 2 Nephi 33:4
"4 And I know that the Lord God will consecrate my prayers for the gain of my people. And the words which I have written in weakness will be made strong unto them; for it apersuadeth them to do good; it maketh known unto them of their fathers; and it speaketh of Jesus, and persuadeth them to believe in him, and to endure to the end, which is life beternal."
I just love how it mentions so many positive things all in one vs.
I love the sm in Jacob 2:18-19 and how it tell to put Christ first.
Jacob chpt 5 & 6 were really hard to understand. If you dont mind explaining them some in class, please.
