Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/05/nt-last-day-of-seminary.html It has truly been a blessing teaching this group of youth! I have grown to understand them a bit better. They try hard to come on time with cheerful hearts. If they don’t….they ALWAYS leave with one. They boost each other up and teach one another. See you in the FALL! I ran across this FABULOUS article: http://sethadamsmith.com/2013/05/20/al-fox-a-modern-mormon-pioneer/I felt it summed up what I was striving for this…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/revelation-1-3-we-shall-overcome/ I use Revelation 1-3 as an exercise in both identifying relevant and applicable principles, as well as understanding how to study the book of Revelation. We start off by reviewing the “EASY” steps/verbs in Revelation 1:3. Next we identified the blessing in Revelation 2:7,11,17,26; 3:5,12,21 that following the pattern should help us to receive. We read (step […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/19/revelation-intro-and-overview/ Many members of the Church find the book of Revelation difficult, and the Christian world has been debating about what it means for centuries. I have found that the majority of my students already have a preconceived notion that the book of Revelation is going to be, “hard, long, and boring” (An actual response this year […]

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/1-3-peter-the-gospel-truth-is-gnot-a-secret/ I had the title song for “Mission Impossible” (an appropriate version) playing in the background as student entered class. It would be fun to dress in a way that fits the lesson, but I did not have that much forethought… There were TOP SECRET folders on each desk when the students came in (Except for […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/2-peter-1-3-ladder-day-saints/ We began by having the Young Women recite the Young Women’s Theme. Then I asked the students to look for one of the values that Peter mentions in 2 Peter 1:1-4. Once they identified “divine nature”, I asked them to explain what it meant. It was surprising to them that they did not really understand what “divine […]

Ask several children to take a turn leading the Primary in a simple action such as hopping or clapping their hands. Point to the picture of the prophet and explain that he is the President of the Church and we should follow what he asks…
