At Christmastime I went to a concert and had no id

At Christmastime I went to a concert and had no idea what was about to happen.

Nathan Pacheco was singing and directly behind me was Elder Christofferson with his wife, and a few seats down was Elder Rasband and his wife.

And earlier that day I had studied Moses 7 and had read Elder Christofferson's talk, "Come to Zion" and my soul was longing for Zion.

The combination of all of these things created an unforgettable moment.

Towards the end of Moses 7 is a vision Enoch had of the world in Noah’s day.

Imagine what he saw.

The vision showed such wickedness that the Lord wept.

At first Enoch tried to comfort the Lord, but then Enoch began to understand. And he wept.

Imagine seeing that.

The question that Enoch then asked was perfect: “When shall the day of the Lord come? When shall the blood of the Righteous be shed?”

One thing Enoch understood was that the world desperately needed Christ.

The world needed to be saved.

Then Enoch “saw the day of the coming of the Son of Man… and his soul rejoiced, saying ‘The Righteous is lifted up, and the Lamb is slain.”

We often mourn when we think of the Savior’s crucifixion. But at this moment, Enoch rejoiced. He understood.

That night, Nathan Pacheco sang the song “Forever.” Have you heard it? You might want to listen to it this week as you study Moses 7.

Here are some of the words…

The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Saviour of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him…

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated…

Then Nathan had the whole audience sing the chorus that says over and over again…

“We sing hallelujah”

Imagine having living apostles right by you as these words were being sung all around you.

And Enoch’s words sank into me and I felt to rejoice like I had never before.

We have witnesses all around us. Sometimes literally. And one of them in our lives this week is Enoch.

FROM THE STUDY PAGES . . . “When you and I are

FROM THE STUDY PAGES . . .

“When you and I are unduly impatient, we like our timetable better than God's. And thus, while the scriptural phrase ‘in process of time’ means ‘eventually,’ it also denotes an entire spiritual process.”

- Elder Neal A. Maxwell, Men and Women of Christ, 71

If ever we needed some advice on how to live right

If ever we needed some advice on how to live righteously amidst increasing wickedness, it is now.

Next week we will be learning about how Enoch and his people became united in heart and mind, lived in righteousness and had no poor among them, all against a backdrop of intense opposition and wickedness.

How did they do it? How are we going to do it? Oh how we need these verses in our homes and in our hearts.

Here is just a taste of what you can look forward to as you teach these principles to your children:

* A family study guide with printable scripture stickers, discussion questions and marking ideas that will have everybody participating as you read Moses 7.

* A marking guide prepared specifically for teens to give them confidence in marking their scriptures and one-on-one experiences learning from the Holy Ghost.

* Scripture cutouts to help you tell the story of Enoch to your children. Then they can use them to tell it back to you to reinforce their learning. These are all ready for you, just print and cut (or better yet, have your children cut them out and they can even glue a magnet on the back to act out the story on a baking sheet).

Calling everyone with a messy house! And yes I am

Calling everyone with a messy house! And yes I am 100% in that camp!

I think we're all guilty of carefully selecting or editing what we share on Instagram - it's the equivalent of the frantic clean up we do in the 15 minutes before someone comes over to our house.

But real life isn't always pretty and styled. In fact, most of the time it's messy, wild, and even a little broken.

If we learned one thing in our study of Adam and Eve, it's that God knew that we needed opposition in order to learn and grow. We need the messy and the broken to discover how Christ can clean things and fix things.

Our hope at Red Headed Hostess is that we can be part of the solution for you on the messy days. That you can quickly reach for beautiful art with videos, discussion questions and stories to bring the scriptures to life and the Spirit into your home.

**We want to see your messy, real life Red Headed Hostess moments! Tag us in your pictures of how you use our kits or study guides. Extra points if there is some serious mess going on in the background. You can use the hashtag #RHHIRL so we can all follow along!
