Welcome to Part 2 with Dr. Carey Mulestein, 2nd Nephi, Chapter 31 through 33.

All right, Carrie, what are we on to do next?

The rest of this chapter we can just summarize, just Nephi is going to emphasize, if this is going to work you have to

pray right and again this is a thing we've seen him so often whoever will ask God

whoever seeks from God we've seen that all throughout the small plates but he's telling us you've got to pray and that's part of the

process of having the spirit with you. He's also very clear this dichotomy that he keeps doing but if you won't ask

then you're gonna have trouble you get that in

verse 7 I'm left to mourn because of the unbelief and the wickedness and the ignorance and the stiff

Third Nephi 11, this is when after his resurrection, the Savior has appeared to the Nephites.

They've gathered together at the temple and then they hear a voice and then he comes down and when you get to this in the podcast, you should know I listen to your podcast every week. I love your podcast. So I am looking already already I'm looking forward to whoever is doing

this with you because this is one of the most powerful parts of the Book of

Mormon we're not going to steal from that much here and besides no one will

remember what we've said by the time you get there but this is a

fantastic fantastic chapter where Christ descends and teaches the Nephites and we get the first

things that he says and among those things he tells us what is specifically not his doctrine and then
