Just nine generations after Eve and Adam inhabited the earth, “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”  It caused the Lord to grieve and repent that he had made man on the earth.  He said He would destroy both man and beast.  However, Noah and his wife, found grace in the eyes God .  They were saved from the flood along with their sons and daughter-in-laws.  They boarded the ark with animals two by two for unclean beasts and seven by seven for fowls and clean beasts.  She, like Eve, was the mother of the human race and it was through her and her daughters-in-law that all nations of the earth were born after the flood.  Noah and his wife, who has been called by many names, were a second Adam and Eve.  They were given a second chance along with the earth.  Just like the earth, we all need baptism, an immersion that washed all sins and mistakes away.  We all need the second chance the gospel gives each of us.

Mandy Jane Williams combines art and photography together to create amazing and unique images.  Becoming a wife and mother has helped her find herself as an artist.  “Little things stand out to you in daily life and you are able to notice them with your artistic eyes.  From the way the rising sun catches the eyelashes of a sleeping baby to the look on a child’s face when Daddy comes home, all of these are an inspiration and a blessing.”  We became acquainted with her as we studied and enjoyed her books, “ Walking with the Women of the Old Testament” and “Walking with the Women of the New Testament.”  Since then, she has also released Walking with the Women of the Book of Mormon and is currently working with Heather Farrell on “Walking with the Women of the Doctrine and Covenants.”   She keeps busy with her husband and six children, while creating beautiful art and serving her family and the Lord.
