82.

Day 82:

-Read: 3 Nephi 17-19

-Mark: 3 Nephi 18:6-7, 11

"We are commanded to repent of our sins and to come to the Lord with a broken heart and a contrite spirit and partake of the sacrament in compliance with its covenants. When we renew our baptismal covenants in this way, the Lord renews the cleansing effect of our baptism. In this way we are made clean and can always have His Spirit to be with us. The importance of this is evident in the Lord's commandment that we partake of the sacrament each week."

~Elder Dallin H. Oaks

Something to think about: How can taking the sacrament each week help you to be just as clean as when you were baptized?

When we take the sacrament, just like Elder Oaks suggests, we are renewing our covenants with the Lord. In a way, it's a promise to do better. It's part of the repentance process. When you partake of the sacrament each week, it really is a blessing. Never take that gift for granted.
