The Fall

Today we reviewed Genesis 3 Moses 4.

We reviewed the consequences that came after Eve partook of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
We discussed why the fall was necessary.

We discussed why freedom is not really free.

We discussed "Free Agency".

Why is our agency not free??

The Creation

Today we discussed the creation.

God created everything. His creations are so immense it is beyond our comprehension.

The known Universe is 40,000,000,000 light years in diameter. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year at the speed of 186,000 per second which is about 5.9 trillion miles.

I point this out not just to spit out fact but to emphasize God's hand.

Some may get hung up on superficial such as how long creation took or how did it all begin. Focusing on this can distract us from what is important. (reasons why God created all this).

Our existence is not an accident. We have a purpose.

Please make sure to read Genesis 3 and Moses 4

Abraham 3 and Moses 1

Today we were able to get to know each other.

Who are we? Why are we here?

We are from Santo Domingo, Richmond Virginia, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Italy, and Indonesia.

We are bothers and sisters.

We love alternate type of music, hip hop, heavy metal, and dead metal.

We are members of the church.

Mainly, WE are SONS and DAUGHTERS of our Heavenly Father and b/c of this we have great worth.

We learned that Abraham had been chosen to come to earth just like we have been chosen to come to earth during this time period.

Knowing this also allows us to see our worth. We were and still are special spirits in our pre mortal lives.

How does this make you feel?

The Plan of Salvation

Today we practiced our study skills and learned how to make use of the footnotes.  Make sure to practice!! I have a small quiz for you.

We also learned about the Plan of Salvation.  Below is an illustration I used in class to help explain.
