Helping Others Recognize the Whisperings of the Spirit

—Vicki F. Matsumori, "Helping Others Recognize the Whisperings of the Spirit", Liahona and Ensign, November 2009
Topics: Prayer, Scriptures, Holy Ghost

One reason we are encouraged to pray and read the scriptures every single day is that both of these activities invite the Spirit into our homes and into the lives of our family members.

Una de las razones por las que se nos exhorta a orar y a leer las Escrituras todos los días es porque ambas actividades invitan el Espíritu a nuestro hogar y a la vida de los miembros de nuestra familia.

Spanish vowels are short pure sounds that do not lose their essential value even when placed in an unstressed position.

Stressed syllable 

A:  like o in pop

papá, mamá, casa alma

E:  halfway between the e in let and the a in late.

mesa pero

I:  Always like the ee in see. Remember to smile when saying. 

mismo aquí

O:  Like the 'o' in go.  A dipthong formed by the rapid succession of o and u.

como loco

U:  Like the 'u' in fluid.  Slightly shorter in length the English 'u'

luna

Y:  like the vowel i:  ee

rey, hoy

Vowels don't change their basic sound when part of a diphthong.

bueno, siento

Acentuación

Words that end in a consonant, except 'n' or 's', are stressed on the last syllable.

es/pa/~nol, pro/fe/sor. a/mor

Words that end in 'n' or 's' are stressed on the next to the last syllable.

Accent marks are used with all interrogative words and exclamations:

?Cómo ...?  ?Qué ...?  ?Dónde ...?  ?Por qué ...? ?Cuánto ..?

In a few instances, accent marks are used to distinguish between words that are spelled the same.

si
if

yes

solo
alone

sólo
only

Re: Youth Gems

De tales enseñanzas concluimos que el juicio final no es simplemente una evaluación de la suma total de las obras buenas y malas, o sea, lo que hemos hecho. Es un reconocimiento del efecto final que tienen nuestros hechos y pensamientos, o sea, lo que hemos llegado a ser.

"The Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts—what we have done. It is an acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become."
