"And now, as the preaching of the word
had a great tendency to lead the people--"
"To do that which was just--"
"Yea, it had had more powerful effect
upon the minds of the people--"
"Upon the minds of the people than the sword--"
"Than the sword, or anything else--"
"Or anything else--"
"Or anything else, which ... happened unto them--"
"Therefore--"
"Therefore Alma thought--"
"Therefore Alma thought it was expedient--"
"Alma thought it was expedient--"
"That they should try--"
"That they should try the virtue--"
"The virtue of the word of God."
It's important to study the scriptures so that you
understand the gospel better.
As I've dug deeper into the scriptures,
I've been able to realize that I can get through my trials
with hope and maybe even excitement.
I've felt more the Spirit as I read the scriptures.
I've felt more peace in my life.
I've felt a greater relationship with my Savior.
It allows me to be able to have the Spirit so that I can
be a better parent to my kids.
I've seen families that have been strengthened,
families that are more unified and look
to the gospel for answers.
I feel like there's more of a purpose behind my studies.
It's changed our perspective.
Noticing the difference in our family,
it was just so worth it.
It just helped remind us that the home
is the center of learning.
It's changed how I see my Sunday experience,
but maybe more importantly, it's changed
how I see my family experience.
For me it just feels like, "Let's just
go try and see what happens.
See what miracles Heavenly Father has for us."
