Schedule: October 19-23 - Isaiah!

This week we have the chance to dive even deeper into the writings of Isaiah! Wonderful teachings await us. We will learn more about how the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the essential part of the plan of salvation, how temples will be built in the last days and how God works with His children through prophets. This ancient prophet has amazing things to tell each of us about our lives in 2009...and beyond! There is so much to learn. Nephi said he read the writings of Isaiah to his brethren to more fully persuade them "to believe in the Lord their Redeemer" (1 Nephi 19:23).

It is important that students read 2 Nephi 11-24 carefully, remembering that there are multiple ways and times that many of these prophecies come to pass. Prayerful study is an essential part of success during these chapters.

Schedule:

Monday: 2 Nephi 11 (+ review of "Safety for the Soul" by Elder Holland)

Tuesday: 2 Nephi 12 (and special guest)

Wednesday: 2 Nephi 14-16

Thursday: 2 Nephi 17-19

Friday: 2 Nephi 24 (and scripture mastery)

This week we will also review the Stake's new policy on attendance for Seminary. Remember: The best way to get the most out of Seminary is to participate! Do your part to read, be on time and study and we are all sure to benefit as we learn about the Savior's promises for us in the Book of Mormon.

I love and admire your testimonies and insights. It is a true blessing to be able to study the scriptures with you each morning. Talk about a great "Homecoming Week!" What better way to start each day this week than with the Book of Mormon!

Be faithful! Be yourselves! Be true!

Love,

Bro. Sherinian

P.S. Why did I include a picture of the Provo Temple in this week's blog....hmmmm....you will know if you read 2 Nephi 11-24!
