  2. When you look in the dictionary for the most important word, do you know what it is? “Remember” appears 15 times in Helaman 5 - used 240 times in the Book of Mormon. “It could be ‘remember.’ Because all of you have made covenants… our greatest need is to remember. That is why everyone goes to sacrament meeting every Sabbath day, to take the sacrament and listen to the priests pray that they ‘may always remember him,’… ‘Remember’ is the word. ‘Remember’ is the program” (Spencer W. Kimball, Book of Mormon Student Study Guide, 147).

  10. “If our lives are centered in Christ, nothing can go permanently wrong. On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and His teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right.” Howard W. Hunter, Teachings, 40

  11. “At the very moment, at the hour when the crisis came for him to offer up his life, the Father withdrew Himself, withdrew His spirit, and cast a veil over (Jesus). That is what made him sweat blood. If he had the power of God upon Him, He would not have sweat blood; but all was withdrawn from him, and a veil was cast over Him, and He then pleaded with the Father not to forsake Him” (Brigham Young, JD, 3:206).

  12. “In that hour I think I can see our dear Father behind the veil looking upon these dying struggles until even he could not endure it even longer; and, like the mother who bids farewell to her dying child has to be taken out of the room so as not to look upon the last struggles, so he bowed His head and hid in some part of His universe, His great heart almost breaking for the love that He had for His son. Oh, in that moment when He might have saved His Son, I thank Him and praise Him that He did not fail us.” (Melvin R. Ballard, Melvin J. Ballard, Crusaders for Righteousness, SLC, Publishers Press, 1966, 137).
