  1. 2 Nephi 1

  2. 2 Nephi 1 Alexander Heit, a 22-year-old student, drifted across the road while exchanging texts with a friend, realized suddenly and over-corrected with the steering wheel, sending his car rolling off the road. He was pronounced dead at North Colorado Medical Center on April 3 after the late afternoon crash -- and his family have agreed with police to issue a photograph of his last text exchange. The text shows two messages from a friend, who says: "Hey man I had to run out for like an hour," to which Heit was replying: "Sounds good my man, seeya soon, ill tw .." before abruptly stopping.

  3. 2 Nephi 1 His mother Sharon Heit said: "I can't bear the thought of anyone else having to go through something like this. Please, vow to never, NEVER text and drive. In a split second you could ruin your future, injure or kill others, and tear a hole in the heart of everyone who loves you," she added, cited by the police statement.Police chief Jerry Garner added: "Unfortunately, when we think to ourselves, 'I'll just do it this one time,' we are fooling ourselves. "This 'one time' may be the only time. The Heits are sharing their tragedy and loss, in hope that through Alex's story, others may realize and recognize just how dangerous texting and driving is."

  7. 2 Nephi 1:30 Everyone needs good and true friends. They will be a great strength and blessing to you. They will influence how you think and act, and even help determine the person you will become. They will help you be a better person and will make it easier for you to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. Choose friends who share your values so you can strengthen and encourage each other in living high standards.

  8. 2 Nephi 1:30 To have good friends, be a good friend. Show genuine interest in others; smile and let them know you care about them. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, and refrain from judging and criticizing those around you. Do not participate in any form of bullying. Make a special effort to be a friend to those who are shy or lonely, have special needs, or do not feel included.

  9. 2 Nephi 1:30 As you seek to be a friend to others, do not compromise your standards. If your friends urge you to do things that are wrong, be the one to stand for the right, even if you stand alone. You may need to find other friends who will support you in keeping the commandments. Seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost as you make these choices.
