Nov 17- Ether 9:1-3

I am starting to see a theme here in the Book of Mormon. And it's a theme I think it is important for us all to understand. Bad things happen, even when you are doing everything right. Life is not free from sorrow and loss even for the righteous. But for those who draw near to the Lord you will be able to see His love, His deliverance and His mercies even, and especially in the hard times.
