0:00.0	Welcome to Part 2 with Dr. Jan Martin, 2nd Nephi, Chapter 3 through 5.
0:07.0	Jen, we have been keeping you for a while, but we don't want to miss out on Chapter 5.
0:12.0	Another important chapter in this... but we don't want to miss out on chapter five.
0:12.9	Another important chapter in this lesson.
0:16.1	Very important chapter.
0:18.0	I would like to just keep our covenant focus here
0:20.6	because I believe Nephi who's writing about all of this later on he comes back and
0:24.9	writes about it from hindsight but he's really purposely trying to keep the focus on the

1:13.3	I neified to cry unto the Lord my God,
1:15.3	so he keeps having to pray about it,
1:17.9	and the anger of his brethren is increasing
1:21.4	when you look in verse two. That's not what I asked for. Yeah, an important
1:26.6	principle here about adversity is take your problems to your God and lay them at his feet, but realize it may take a little bit of time
1:35.3	for the solutions to come and sometimes things get worse before they get better and you have me
1:40.6	if I doing that but the important thing I want to point out is if he is the
