Moses was used as a symbol of a good prophet, even the savior is called "one like moses"

Wonderful handout comparing their physical journey to our spiritual journey.

Both were delivered as infants. Cool symbolism.

Greek meaning departure.

Over 400 years have past since Joseph, and the pharoah no longer remembers them.

Hebrews were multiplying so Hebrews were to throw male babies into water.

Moses' mother nursed till 5 so she had time to teach him. She was also very resourceful. She had to be inspired to do thoughtfully. It would be hard to place a child in the water and trust that it will float.

All mothers must have faith and act upon inspiration though the things required might be difficult.

Righteous women have immesurable influence.

Now, there will no longer be seperate for Young Women, and Relief Society annual meetings, but it will be combined to make a joint semianual conference meeting.

At this time Egyptians had the best academic offerings, so Moses had access to those.

Not until later in life that he chose to not accept the worldly comforts but chose his other kingdom, so to speak.

Having good books in our home really impresses children.

Righteous woman in family can be an aunt, as well.

Fear out of lack of a better word, we do not want to hurt our nurturer's feelings so we do not necessarily do what we would out of a deep respect of their will.

Moses saw the Hebrew as his brother. And he saved someone. This was symbolic of how he will save all of his brethren.

He must walk away from that life to begin his new life.

Moses expresses concerns about being a prophet.
1) Who am I? (I am nobody)
2) who do I say sent me?
3) Speech impediment. Slow of speech and not eloquent.
4) No one will believe me.
He, like most of us, was focusing on his weaknesses instead of the Lord's strengths.

Correction of Exodus 4:24
JST the Lord was not going to kill Moses, but he was angry with him.

Genesis JST about being accountable.

Circumcision is an outward token of being a covenant keeper. Outward expressions are motivated by inward desire. Think of how we take the sacrament.

Moses did not feel like he had suficient ability, but he had the Lord who is mighty enough to do it and it gave him strength.

Often we seem to get negative response for our righteous choices, but the good will come, just not in expected time frame.

In AL someone mentioned how members of the church have figurative targets painted on their backs.

Someone commented how when we get baptized or similarly, it seems like all Help breaks loose. This is mirrored in the movie " The Mountain of The Lord" where saints were worried that laying the cornerstone of a temple would cause hardship for them again, and they were just feeling safe.

Counterfeits are set up to let the magicians do the same things Aaron and Moses performed.
Likewise, we often experience counterfiets, false things are mingled with truth.

I loved the comment about weeds looking like plants.

There was an awesome comment about a huge poster of air woman in Target.

Influence of righteous people is so needed especially in the last days!

Our examples and choices speak so much more than we realize, so try to be better examples of being a covenant keeper.
