General Conference!

Wonderful Arlington Seminary Students: Remember that General Conference gives us a great opportunity to make a direct link between our Book of Mormon Scripture Study and our day-to-day testimony building. Just as Lehi and Nephi learned at the feet of prophets and by listening to their words, so can we (albeit - via the wonders of Cable TV!).

Things to remember about Conference and our class:

1) Extra Credit Opportunity: A well-crafted, one-page paper on any talk of your choice that matches some of the General Conference teachings with principles from our Book of Mormon study this year can go toward missed classes. You know me, so it should be typed, professional, and convey the genius of your amazing testimonies! Teach me something in the paper and let me know what the Conference talk taught you! Due date for extra credit: Friday, October 9.

2) General Conference Quiz: As you saw on your Seminary schedule, there will be a General Conference Quiz next week. Look for concepts that link any Conference message to those themes we have learned about in our Book of Mormon study this year. It's a pop-quiz, but is going to be popping with fun! Pay attention during Conference!

3) Extra-Extra (are you listening?) activity: Now that we know about each of our scripture mastery verses (even though we don't have them memorized..yet), the first student to e-mail any reference to a Book of Mormon scripture mastery verse that is made during General Conference this weekend gets an amazing prize on Monday a.m. Pay close attention...you may want to keep your scripture mastery card or list close at hand...

Listen with faith and build on what we learn every morning through seminary and every day through your individual reading.

Love, -Bro. Sherinian
