Today the ladies in the Relief Society had a scripture class with sister Andersen. She gave each sister a copy of the book of Mormon and told us to look at the first four chapters of 1 Nephi and to mark with a red pencil anything relating to his Character, attributes and the atonement. she told us that if we do this daily, we will be able to understand Him in a way that no other book including the Bible let us get to know him and to strive to be like him.
She told us that elder Bednar picks a certain topic or theme to study the book of Mormon, marks it and stars a new one again. He has many books of Mormon in his bookshelf and each has a theme he studies and that is where he gets his talks. Themes can be, faith, repentance, charity, etc. she gave us a handout that read as follows:
The Character of Christ:
"Seek through prayer and study of the scriptures a witness of the divine character, the atonement, and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ." Elder Todd Christofferson
