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?

Introduction to the Old Testament and Scripture Study
It was a pleasure meeting you today. Just wanted to review a few points we covered today.
What is the Old Testament?
Why should we study the Old Testament?
How the Old Testament is Organized?
We reviewed the significance of the footnotes.
We discussed your expectations of me and my expectations of you. You said you want me to make it FUN. It will be. As long as everyone participates we will not get bored.
I noticed that I did not give you a copy of the calendar. I will make a copy of the calendar and post it soon.
