S2 E33 (August 24-30) "Remember the Lord"

What kind of Prophet was Nephi? How does understanding Nephi's teachings as a Prophet help us appreciate our current Prophet, President Nelson? And is ponderizing even a word??? (My spell check says no.) But that doesn't mean ponderizing can't have...

S2 E32 (Aug 17-23) "The Rock of Our Redeemer"
