Thank you for doing this for us each week! Its so helpful!

[@drippl1973]

Thanks so much, Christopher! I never would have found Deut. 31:14 without your help!!!

[@pdmaloy]

I've said it before and will continue to say, that never before have I enjoyed the old testament more a d learned more, than the way your insights have helped the Spirit to teach me important principles that apply and bless me. Thank you!

[@angierennie9078]

@Paul Maloy - I agree! Teaching the OT in seminary was a bit of a challenge for me. These two are such a blessing! So many of their insights bring the Spirit to my heart & testify of that truth, but then I’m taught something even more personal that I need to know right now. I love how when I’m open & ready, the Spirit meets me where I’m at, & gives me even more than I knew I needed. Hope you’re happy & thriving in your new adventures!

[@karenwright1747]

Love this lesson so much!! I'm a Jewish Saint and I have my grandparents mezzuzah hanging on my door post. We gave each of our children a mezzezah as they left our home. Thank you for blessing our lives with these lessons. Excited for summer of heroes!

[@mariannehunt5737]

I’m starting to understand why you two were so anxious to teach the Old Testament. Thank you for infecting me with your love of God’s word❤️❤️❤️

[@joycole2062]

Deuteronomy now equals "the book of tears". Sometimes, our purpose is to journey through the desert faithfully so that others can eventually cross over and receive the promise.

[@christinecontini7053]

When David said, we don't know why anyone is chosen...I started thinking that, we know why Abraham was chosen...he WANTED to be. He had desire to learn and become wise. He was blessed and his descendants were blessed because he desired it. In D&C 4 it says, "if ye have desires to serve God, ye are called to the work." So, if we want to follow Him and we have the desire to be His disciple, He chooses us. None of that being left on the sidelines in gym class because you stink at basketball and neither team wants to pick you. He will pick anyone who wants to play!

[@mulheresdebem]

Amazing insight. Thank you

[@hollyfield1303]

Many are called, few are chosen - few have chosen

When Emily Cries - I cry. Oh my gosh, thank you so much for helping me to LOVE Deuteronomy

[@peggyrogers7884]

As well., when Emily cries, I cry. It has done me a world of good to have the two of them coming thru my phone so I can thrive!!

[@melaneydees1185]

Yup…every time she cries, that’s me. She says those tender things I think about.

[@GuarIncome4Life]

One of my favourite books of Scripture; thank you, you have captured the essence, the emotion, the beauty and power ... and in just 60 minutes. Your lesson has fed us and lifted our hearts. Thank you.

[@karyncurr28]

Aren’t we all chosen from the moment we determined to follow Christ in the pre-existence? Now we have to chose to be chosen and prove ourselves worthy to have our calling and election made sure.

[@ldrake1256]

Thank you both for the great energy and love which you have for the Old Testament and how you share your personal experiences with the principles that are taught there.

[@lisaknudson7250]

Every time you continue to teach me, I can’t describe through this how much this has helped me and my husband. The significance of the trial in our lives right now. This continues to encourage me. Thank you for sharing with me, us. Thank you for teaching so many things.

[@mariannehunt5737]

I’m starting to understand why you two were so anxious to start the Old Testament year! Thanks for infecting me with your love of the words of God❤️

[@lauriesmith3443]

My husband and I will have been married 40 years this summer. I related to SO much of this as I look back on our life together so far. There are mountains that we have encompassed long enough, blessings that are yet to come and overtake us. Thank you. This is good and it is timely. God bless you both.

[@wendyfritz8907]

Thank you for bringing the story of Moses alive - I've loved learning of his God journey! It gives me hope xx

[@saibot0001]

Thank you both! You have made me LOVE The Old Testament...and, this was the first time I cried in Deuteronomy too. I don't think I will be able to ever read it again and not cry. Such a beautiful lesson.

[@sal4gal]

This video ‼️ touched my heart ♥️. I was trying to decide which CFM video to listen to this afternoon, and I choose wisely and my heart is full of love for Christ and Moses. Thank you for making my eyes leak too❤️! Now I am going to listen again so I can mark my scriptures.

[@amyjernigan1299]

Dear David and Emily, thank you so much for making these precious videos. You have brought the Old Testament to LIFE for me. Your prayerful insights have helped me to understand the valuable lessons that can be found in each book. I now look forward to reading the lesson each week and finding my own insights, applicable to my life at this particular time, Thank you again 🙏 for all of your efforts!

[@karendoty3997]

Thanks so much for your thoughtful insight’s of Moses’s journey. It causes me to reflect on my own earthly journey.

[@LuminousLalaJane]

“Let that be the rhythm of your thoughts”… That was so profound! Thank you! :)

[@john2bbrandt]

Moses mission was not complete, he was taken up so that he would have a body, there are continuing needs for Those That Tarry. Each dispensation has its place, and the baton/keys needs to be passed to keep moving forward.(Deut 34 footnote 6c) (Translated Beings)It is wonderful to watch your presentations it is a special part of our morning, like seminary to start the day with a spiritual note, thank you so much for what you do.

[@elbotoface]

Our "Spiritual Memory." That resonated with me! Not just spiritual experiences, but that our Spirits have a memory even when our mortal brains have been blocked from them (pre-mortal life) or forgotten them, or our hearts have purposely dimmed them. I love the wisdom of magnifying our experiences with God's hand in our lives. Side note, love how David's journal said he would never forget and he did. 😄 He cracks me up in EVERY video! Wish we could be friends! 😁 Thank you both! You help me so much every week!!!

[@lori7008]

It's so nice to see teachers (you) using your scripture book instead of phone scriptures. When I use my book scriptures I feel it more for some reason. Thanks for your examples and enthusiasm for the scriptures and always relating it to our individual lives.

[@lanajohnson2424]

David uses his phone scriptures Hahahaha Hahahaha

[@lindalindaj1683]

My 3 year old Primary kids didn't think their family had scripture study because their parents were using their phones instead of the book.

[@carolynmcallister9021]

I LOVED this lesson. Thank you so much! ❤️🙏

[@carolthacker4126]

I'm a week behind my studies because I had COVID and simply could not focus on reading or even watching anything. I almost did not go back to the studies I'd missed, but I am so glad that I did. I think you have enlightened me to the greatness of the book of Deuteronomy that I had never before realized. I have been grieving for my dearest friend who passed away last December from this horrible virus, but today as I watched this video and read along with you, many thoughts pierced my heart about my friend. I am now at peace with her passing because I realize that she had finished her work here and is now giving her love and sharing her faith beyond the veil, just as Moses had finished his work and was taken beyond the veil. Thank you for reminding us to remember, obey, beware, teach and rejoice. I truly needed to hear that. Love your videos.

[@marthamorris1944]

Moses was taken up to heaven perhaps a better gift than going into the Promised land

[@lanarobertson1872]

True!! He was about 120 years old too.

[@apet1712]

Yes, and he was probably done with all the whining 😅

[@shannaroper6254]

I love that you are talking about being one of the few. A year ago we had A family home evening with our adult children and grandchildren and we talked about Matthew chapter 7 verses 13 and 14 that talk about straight is the gate and narrow is the way and few there be that find it. We also talked about together as a family we can be strong so we can become one of the few. We made them wristbands that say Roper Strong on one side indicating our family and one of the few on the other side. I love so much that you brought that point across in your message today. Thank you so much for all you do.🙂

[@jeffersonalbright4967]

So awesome. I'm in the thick of the dating phase of life haha and at times it feels like I'll be single forever even though I'm doing all I can do to trust in God and be the best me. Emily says something like "don't you love it how things that are 40 years in the making can in a day come to fruition?" That gives me so much hope.

[@miacampagna8095]

be patient, and continue to trust God! good luck:)

[@CamilleBeckstrandSSS]

Emily, my husband served in Croatia as well! When I met him after his mission and he told me where he had served, I didn’t believe it was a real place because I had never heard of it! He still speaks fluent Croatian (there is even a delicious restaurant in Salt Lake City we love to go to!) and has had the chance to go back to some of the surrounding countries and do some humanitarian work with the church and use the language he learned on his mission. So cool that your son went there too… great things are still happening in Croatia!!

[@nataliecarbone6997]

God chooses those who choose Him. We have to choose Him first to qualify to be chosen by Him to fulfill the covenants and commandments He has set forth. Even just asking that question ’how do I know if I’m chosen?’ puts you on the path to BE chosen.

[@gordonandtamarakirkham543]

This was wonderful! Thank you both.♥️

[@suzannaylor653]

I know where Croatia is, but only because of an "International House Hunters" episode 😂. It looks extremely beautiful!

[@marleeriggin996]

Thank you for the song. 🧡

[@paavo2000]

Thanks, again for providing another eye- (and heart-) opening lesson! After Psalms (the Savior's "hymnbook"), Jesus quoted from Deuteronomy more than any other OT scripture. The Prophet Joseph Smith, like Moses, spoke with the Lord face to face and was also not able to see the Saints' Promised Land, except in vision. Brigham Young, the Latter-day Joshua, led the Saints to their place of safety.

[@primarylesson7357]

I appreciate your bringing up that few will continue to believe. Those who do will have to make a very conscious choice. Not everyone will get a trophy. In the interest of “inclusion,” sometimes the requirements are overlooked

[@delwinlong2800]

Don’t Miss This in the Old Testament is very good. I hope that you make a New Testament one for next year!

[@delwinlong2800]

@Landon Carter I was referring to their daily devotional book. I did not know that they had created one, in previous years.

[@deeannstohel2396]

Remember, obey, beware, teach, rejoice are the words that Emilie wrote at the beginning of Deuteronomy.

[@amysorensen8117]

I have a friend that has decided not to come to church anymore or study the scriptures because she's done that for 30 years. I am beside myself because she was very influential and helping me on my road back to my Covenants

[@jandawoman]

Heartbreaking for sure. Whenever I have that happen to me (a friend deciding not to come to church) I feel so sad that they will be missing out on all the wonderful blessings God has to offer! All I can do is continue to love them and pray for them. ❤️

[@angierennie9078]

That is a challenge, to be sure. But remember Rahab - the Lord knows where each of us is, & will allow us to choose our path. But we are never lost to Him. As much as your friend helped you, it is upon Jesus Christ that our foundation must be built. Like was talked about in the lesson, write down what the Lord has done in your life, so you can look back & remember. And choose to serve the Lord.

[@lynettemckenzie9044]

I like following the time line and the workbook. The past 2 weeks the bottom part of the board is blocked by the flaggie things. But no worries, I'll check the picture of the board in the newsletter.

Do you watch the video message about the Old Testament from David and Emily? Try to write a comment on the message that week. If you need help. there are resources in your ward family. Try talking to someone in person, they would be better able to help you.

[@suzannaylor653]

Aren't the "chosen" those who volunteered? Don't we have to choose ourselves and then God accepts us?

[@cherinagohjerta8111]

Particularly moved by the story of your son Caleb being called to serve in Croatia!! Our family has a special connection with Croatia although we live in Norway :) love your lessons by the way

[@frostedfcknflake]

Thanks for the lesson, it was very good!

[@daviddietering2151]

I have thought that "the Chosen" are those who "choose" the Lord. If we choose Him, then we are Chosen. So everyone is included; not forced, but offered the opportunity to be chosen.

I do like the clothes pins for attaching! I had not thought of that. Also, has Emily made what she wrote about Moses available to be printed off? I would love to have it for myself! It is so full of things to think about and to help understand the scriptures with Moses but also my own life!! Thank you!

What are the words to write on the page for the Deuteronmy lesson ? Also, the little flags are blocking the chalkboard. Please show more carefully the words for this lesson. Thanks, Peggy

[@saibot0001]

I wrote my own thoughts as David and Emily spoke during those parts of the lesson. For example under You have Encompassed this mountain, I wrote, "What is the mountain I need to move past? It's time to rise up and move forward."

[@myrastevens7098]

My husband left me and my two boys several years back. I often look back on our experiences as "wandering through the wilderness". It has been hard, lonely, and full of trials, and I have often feel forgotten. In January of this year, my married daughter ended up in the hospital with symptoms that has taken us on a wild ride. At the time, my two boys and I had been living in Arkansas, but we came to Utah to be with my daughter while she was to begin a long road of discovery of what was happening to her body. This hard, has brought me out of the wilderness and placed me in the promised land. To be in a place where temples abound has been such a place of peace. I pray, that I will never take being near a temple for granted for I have truly been in the wilderness and I desire to be in the land of promise.
