Hello!

I wanted to do a quick recap about what we learned today so that when you do your reading, you are aware of Moses's life up to this point:


  • Pharaoh was worried about the large numbers of Hebrews, so he put them into bondage (doing hard labor). 
  • This didn't stop their numbers from growing so he then had their sons killed at birth. 
  • The Midwives believed in God so they would not kill them and told Pharaoh that the women just had the babies before they got there. 
  • God blessed the Midwives and their own families.
  • Moses is born and hid for 3 months.
  • His mother sends him down the river in a small boat.
  • Daughter of Pharaoh finds the baby and has mercy on him, raises Moses as her own. 
  • She calls Moses's mom to be his Midwife (watch over him as he grows), not knowing that she is his real mother. 
  • Moses is then able to learn from his mother the true principles of the gospel which prepares him to be prophet many years later. 
  • Moses finds an Egyptian beating a slave to death, so he protects the Hebrew slave and ends up killing the Egyptian. 
  • He has to flee Egypt. He becomes a shepard. 

Ok, there is our quick recap :) Here is your reading for tonight:

Exodus 3-4

While reading chapter 3, pay attention to what the Lord asks of Moses because he is on holy ground. When are we asked to do that?

In Chapter 4, pay close attention to the concerns that Moses has about being a prophet. What signs/miracles does the Lord say he will perform, through Moses, to help the descendants of Israel believe him?

You guys are amazing, and I love you see your wonderful faces every day :)

Love,

Sis. Findley
