Moses’ Final Words Turn to and read some of Moses’ final words in Deuteronomy 4: 9-13. After, read this quote from Elder Ballard: “I encourage you to take time each week to be by yourself, away from television and the crowd. Have your scriptures with you and as you read, ponder, and pray, take an honest look at your life. Evaluate where you stand with the promises you have made with Heavenly Father. If you have a problem, talk it over with the Lord in earnest and humble prayer. Counsel with your parents; they will help you. Remember, only you know if you are living true to your covenants made with God.” By the way, Deuteronomy 4:30-31 is AMAZING! You might want to mark it

Just for fun… (English is Hard)   One may be that, and two may be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose. And the plural of cat would never be cose. We speak of brother, and also of brethren But though we say mother, we never say methren. The masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine, she, shis, and shim! English is funny; on that we agree, And alphabet soup makes no sense to me. We'll begin with a box: the plural is boxes, but the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You'll find a lone mouse, or a nest of mice, But the plural of a house is houses, not hice. If I speak of a foot, you show me your feet And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth, and a set is called teeth, Why wouldn't the plural of both be called beeth? If the singulars this and the plural is these, Should the plural of kiss be written as keese?

Death of Moses Read Deuteronomy 34:5-6 “Moses was likewise taken up [like Elijah], though the scriptures say that the Lord buried him upon the mountain. Of course, the writer of that wrote according to his understanding; but Moses, like Elijah, was taken up without tasting death, because he had a mission to perform” (Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1054-56]. 2”107). One reason Moses was translated was so he could bestow priesthood keys upon Peter, James, and John during the Savior’s earthly ministry. In order to do so, he needed a body and was therefore taken up to God without experiencing physical death (see Bible Dictionary, “Moses”)
