For our final week of Seminary for 2009, we will take time to look for the arrival of the Savior, just as did the people in the Book of Mormon. We will follow the events that took place in Bethlehem and in the Americas. What a wonderful opportunity to re-commit ourselves to strengthening our testimonies of Him, the Book of Mormon, and finding ways to serve our brothers and sisters.
Before we break for the Holidays, we will study Mosiah 25-29. This important part of the Book of Mormon is a record of what happened in Zarahemla from approximately 120 to 91 BC. The people of Zeniff's colony (this now includes Limhi's people and Alma's followers -- remember them?), had returned to Zarahemla and were united safly under King Mosiah's rule. It was a time of peace and prosperity, but many members of the Church were still led into sin by unbelievers.This week, we will have a special visit by an Arlington Seminary graduate, who will talk about how her testimony has grown during her first sememster at college. We will share in some special Christmas activities and will enjoy a Holiday Celebration on December 18. Seminary will re-convene on January 4...but we'll continue to read and study over the break so that our testimonies and understanding can grow.
We have so much to be grateful for this Christmas Season. I love your testimonies and am so proud that you, like Samuel of old, are not afraid to share your knowledge of the Savior. Let's remember to share this news by showing our goodwill to all and spreading peace. You are a group that is up to the task.Be faithful!
Love,
-Bro. Sherinian
