Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Wow. This was a difficult lesson. I read on the Facebook group that one teacher spent five days on 2 Nephi 2. I thought that was ridiculous, but after today, I can see why. I got a Facebook message on Friday from a student saying that she was bringing an investigator to class. This is the second investigator we have had come to class this year. I am not going…

Just grab on and don’t let go. Walking easily forward. BUTit is not always easy. More often than not, this is how I feel: I feel it is difficult. Things of this world pull at me from every direction. The rod seems so far above my reach.I just don’t…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/10/stumbling-blocks-1-nephi-14.html 1 Nephi 14:1 the phrase stumbling blocks means obstacles that keep people from following the Lord. The scriptures are filled with many “IF-THEN” statements. (if suggests choice) Depending on what we choose, we experience different outcomes. Nephi saw future generations and noted that if they would be righteous, they would be blessed; or if they chose wickedness, they would be cursed. We learned today that obeying the…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/10/great-and-abominable-church-1-nephi-12.html As a child I loved to watch Rudolph on TV. The Abominable snowman scared me to death! The thought of running into him terrified me. Jump ahead a few years and when I first heard the phrase: “Great and Abominable Church” I had visions of something terrifying. Something that would prevent me from getting back to my Heavenly Father. 1 Nephi 13: 1-4,6 Nephi saw a group…

1 Nephi 21:16-22:31 I used the lesson manual a little bit for this lesson, and I can’t say it went super well. I had a list of verses to read aloud regarding the scattering and gathering of Israel, and we had a short discussion. I also had students summarize some of the terms from the previous lesson because we had so many students absent, including “furnace of affliction” and “graven…

I’ve been so busy the past three months that I couldn’t spare the 3 hours to get there. I had an appointment last weekend, but I ended up pushing it back…
