Hymn: Happy Family
Prayer: Maycee
Moroni 9:8-17
What we learned...
"The old Nephite widow women fainted and died." (Maycee)
"The Nephites fell to the point of wickedness where they were literally eating people." (Kenyon)
"The Nephites and Lamanites were committing all sorts of awful, awful sins, and Mormon knew that judgement would come soon." (Shaylee)
"The Nephites and Lamanites were both committing terrible sins, and Mormon is realizing that this is a point where their end is near." (Brandon)
"It's amazing how quickly a country or group of people can deteriorate in their morals." (Mom)
"Mormon saw in his lifetime the Nephites go from a civil and delightsome people to one that became uncivilized delighted in abomination, inlcluding raping, torturing, murdering and eating the flesh of people. It doesn't take long for a people to go bad quickly once they become prideful, reject God, refuse to repent, stop feeling love for others and are filled with hatred and vengeance towards others. We've seen this loss of humanity in this past century, with Nazi Germany, and we are seeing many in our country today following down this same path fueled with hatred towards particular groups of people. We must not follow those who try to stir us up to hate other people, even if it means we're rejected, mocked and persecuted. We need to not go over the cliff with the rest of society like what happened with normal, civilized people in Germany during WWII." (Dad)
