The course of study this year is the Book of Mormon. Personal study for the week of April 15-21 should be centered on Enos-Words of Mormon. The “Come, Follow Me” Manual says “Although Enos went to the forest to hunt beasts to satisfy physical hunger, he ended up staying there all day and into the night because his ‘soul hungered.’ This hunger led Enos to ‘raise [his] voice high that it reached the heavens.’ He described this experience as a wrestle before God (see Enos 1:2–4). From Enos we learn that prayer is a sincere effort to draw near to God and seek to know His will.”
