Schedule: Sept 21-25 (Lehi's Dream, Nephi's Vision)

Students: You taught me so much this week about obedience, sacrifice and faith! "I will go and do..." is an amazing lesson for each of us as we strive to serve the Lord. Thank you for your examples and your testimonies...and for getting to class on time!

Reading Assignment: This week we will learn about Lehi's dream and Nephi's Vision by diving deep into 1 Nephi 6-15. Make sure to review the activities suggested in your Student Manual to understand these chapters better and get the most out of your daily reading.

What to expect this week: You will have a special guest this week -- our class substitute Sister Gartz will be with us on Tuesday. She is fantastic and you will love learning about Lehi's dream with her! Please show her your very best early-morning brilliance!

Parents: Ask your students what we learned about faith and hope (Does faith need to be "optimistic" about life/us? Is the Lord?) and how there are many ways one can "murmur"...so we need to be aware of them in order to avoid it...not that any of us would ever do it, right? :) Your students learned a scripture mastery verse...1 Nephi 3:7. Please review it with them. We're well on our way to memorizing all 25 scripture mastery verses.

Favorite things I heard you say this week:
  • "If we really know He prepares the way, we shouldn't have to waste so much energy thinking about things and just do it."
  • "I know people who are actually fluent 'murmur' speakers."
  • "Nephi rocks."
To All: Have a great weekend and share something you learned about the Book of Mormon with a family member and buddy. I love our class and pray for you each day that you will continue to be a light to your neighbors and friends.

Be faithful and read each day.
