McKenna had this idea a few weeks ago and instead of doing a movie play we could do scripture skit. Once we took everything into perspective we decided that this was THE BEST idea. We ask for you to tell everyone in your family about this and tell them they are free to put as many or as few as possible suggestions ( scripture skits ) on THIS PAGE. So then we need each family as a family to choose 1 idea or suggestion and figure out how to act it out. Then we need you to practice, practice, practice. But even before you practice we need you to post your choice. Pretend you chose the story of esther, you would put ---bevans choice is -esther-. We need this info before June 20th. Thank you for any and all effort. Here are a few ideas.

Nephi

Australia temple

    * Esther
*The Good Samaritan
*Noah's Ark
*Nephi builds the boat
*Nephi gets the plates from Laban
*The 2,000 stripling warriors

Esther

Strong as the 2,000 sons

In Young Woman last week we were talking about the 2000 Stripling Warriors and how it was their mothers that had taught them to "Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them."  Later that week we read that story in our early morning devotional. So this week I have been think about it. How what we feel if Dallin, Willie, Neal,& Luke had to go to battle? What would we do? In my history class we are currently in the begging battles of the Civil War. Two battles that both had a good turn out. I think that the we need to be prepared for that and that anything can happen. It can be physical or spiritual. We need to remember what we have been taught and apply it to our everyday lives to be prepared.
Just something to think about.

HEY EVERYBODY!!!!!

     Summer break is coming up quickly!!! Now that seminary is almost over, hopefully you have finished the Book of Mormon (personally, I still have some reading to do...), and now that summer break is almost here (!?), you can start thinking about some summer scripture study goals. My goals are to study (not just read) everyday, and to use an idea I got from one of the missionaries here, I'm going to start a study journal, where I have different pages for different topics. I LOVE that idea, and it's something I'm super excited to get started on! 

     Right now I'm reading in 3 Nephi, and right now is where Jesus is visiting the Nephites. One thing I found was that almost each chapter compares to a chapter from the New Testament. The things Jesus taught the Nephites were the same things He taught to the people in Jerusalem. 

     I also got to thinking about how wherever we go around the world, the same gospel is being taught. The church is the same around the world, and I am actually really glad for that.  It's reliable. The gospel is unchanging, just like Heavenly Father. "For He is the same yesterday. today and forever." (1 Nephi 10:18) 

PS-What are your guys's scripture study goals for the summer?
