Moving

It is almost moving time again- how do you feel about that? Are there any stories from the scriptures that can help you have courage and faith and patience during our move? What are they? How do they help?

I do not want to move.
I think the story of Nephi can help cause he didn't even take his stuff and and he had to walk and build his own ship and we get to take all our stuff and we get to drive and we get to ride a plane and we dont have to build the plane. it was probably harder for him. so we can probably do it.

Why Scripture Mastery?

Have you ever wondered why the leadership of the Church wants you to memorize the Scripture Mastery verses? Do you ever wonder how they choose which scriptures to use? How do you think knowing these specific scriptures can help you in your life?

Take a few minutes and think about these questions and then answer each one in a complete sentence.

Knowing these scriptures can help you feel the spirit and make you want to read the scriptures. Then you will learn a lot of things and want to do good.

Scripture Mastery Review

Before vacation we worked on memorizing and understanding some of the Scripture Mastery verses for the Book of Mormon. It has been a while since we have gone over them so lets take today to review.

1Nephi 3:7 Do you remember this one? Nephi has just been asked by his Father to go back to Jerusalem to get the brass plates. This verse is his response to Lehi. Do you remember now? Once you think you know how it goes- look it up in the scriptures. Then come read it to me and tell me why you think it is important today.

1 Nephi 19:23 is another great scripture- do you remember what it says? In this scripture Nephi is talking to the people explaining to them why the scripture are important and what we can do to get the most out of them. Do you remeber what he told them? Once you think you have it, look it up. Then read it to me and tell me what you think it means.

Getting back into the swing of things

It has been many weeks since we last had school. In that time we welcomed family, celebrated holidays, traveled to new places and did new things. Write a five sentence paragraph about one of your favorite memories from our vacation.

we visited Leonardo Da Vinci's house. there were 2 museums that showed his inventions. they were awesome. 1 museum was mostly about his new way to make a cannon. they showed it on a video.the other museum showed his inventions. it was very cool, but you weren't even allowed to touch them! but it was still cool.
