I know I was late. My power was knocked out. And we were supposed to finish up Mosiah chapter 4, so we will in the order I place below.
I will post up the questions and have numbers before them, so if you decide to answer the questions, place the number before the answer so we can know what your talking about.

1.) What enabled King Benjamin's people to be forgiven of their sins?
2.) How did they know they had been forgiven?
3.) How can we know that we are forgiven after we repent?
(for help with these look In Mosiah 4:3 and in a quote by President Harold B. Lee which said: “If the time comes when you have done all that you can to repent of your sins … and have made amends and restitution to the best of your ability … , then you will want that confirming answer as to whether or not the Lord has accepted of you. In your soul-searching, if you seek for and you find that peace of conscience, by that token you may know that the Lord has accepted of your repentance” (Stand Ye in Holy Places [1974], 185). )

You should know that there is no single right approach to helping the needy. We should also remember the principles taught by King Benjamin and seek the guidance of the Spirit in each situation. There are many ways in which the Lord has established ways in which we can help the needy. When we give fast offerings or donate money, goods, time, or other service to the Church, we can be confident that our contributions are being used wisely.
20.) What counsel did King Benjamin give to the poor who could not impart of their substance? (Mosiah 4:24–25.)
21.) How can we develop a generous heart regardless of our financial situation?

22.) Why do you think serving others helps us retain a remission of our sins? (See Mosiah 4:26.)
Mosiah 4:27 says "And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order."
23.) What does it mean to do all things “in wisdom and order”?
24.) How can you be helped by this counsel?

Ok, that is all I have for this lesson. I hope that you can answer these questions. whether on your own in your study or in a post.
I'm sorry again for being late, but I hope that you take the time to study this chapter and maybe you will get more out of it by asking yourself these questions.
