Names

I came across these names on FamilySearch:
Pleasant Wave & Prosper Patch
Their parents certainly had something in mind for them.  Nephi and Lehi were counseled- See
Helaman 5:6-7

Behold, my sons, I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God; and I would that ye should declare unto the people these words. Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first aparents who came out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I have done that when you remember your names ye may remember them; and when ye remember them ye may remember their works; and when ye remember their works ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they werebgood.
 Therefore, my sons, I would that ye should do that which is good, that it may be said of you, and also written, even as it has been said and written of them.

  1. In those verses the word "remember" is repeated often?.

  2. Great message, for some reason I never really paid much attention to those scripture passages. I do hope both Pleasant and Prosper lived up to their names.

  3. Elder Rasband uses this scripture reference in General Conference this afternoon.
