Schedule: December 7-11

This week we follow Alma and his people, first at the Waters of Mormon and later during their trials, captivity and deliverance. We will learn from the Book of Mormon more about our baptismal covenants, how we support and teach one another as members of the Lord's Church, and ways to follow the Savior in our daily lives. These are beautiful chapters filled with important lessons for us as Arlington Seminary students.

Monday: Mosiah 18-20

Tuesday: Mosiah 21-22

Wednesday: Mosiah 22-24

Thursday: Mosiah 24-26

Friday: Scripture Mastery and special guest and testimony

Please do not forget the important lessons from last week's powerful mornings with Abinadi. Nothing could stop you from learning...not even the cold of a malfunctioning heating unit. I was moved by your steadfast examples to come to class, study the scriptures, and fellowship with one another. You are true friends and are examples of following the teachings of Christ.

I have included below a picture that will have special significance for those students who were with us for Thursday's class. There is something growing and developing in this tree outside our Seminary room. We are going to watch our testimonies grow along with these blooming branches this Fall. Remember to think about what you are doing to nurture your testimony of the Book of Mormon and the Restoration so that it can be stronger (like Abinadi's!) by the time this tree is in full bloom.

I love you and am grateful for your friendship and fellowship. Thank you for welcoming me back to Seminary and for the gracious, masterfully planned fiesta this Monday. Your generous gifts have helped us welcome our little baby Eliza Rose to the world. I hope she'll grow up to be just like each of you amazing young people!

Love,

-Bro. Sherinian
