This is a test...



This is a test... of the emergency missionary moment.
Did you think I would say, "This is a test of the emergency broadcasting system?"

Ocassionally we get the oportunity to share the Gospel with a friend, or even strangers who come across our path. How prepared are you to share our basic beliefs on the Plan of Salavation? Just as we should be prepared in an emergency - armed with our 72 Hour Kits, tarps and plywood, we should be prepared to share our beliefs and testimonies.

Since the 2009 theme for YM/YW is "Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity" (1 Timothy 4:12) I hope you will strive to Know what you Believe!!!

Click here to take a quick (& fun) quiz on your knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. Print your results and bring it to Seminary this week for a reward. (PS - I won't share your scores - if you don't do well then you can follow the links embedded in the quiz to learn more about the Gospel. Read up on any areas that were unclear to you and then take it again.)

Remember you are loved! Sis. Shepherd

LDS Videos online


Well I haven't posted for awhile. I wanted to share a fun link with you that I found at www.lds.org/videos

Do you remember your mom & dad reading scriptures to you when you were little from the New Testament Scripture Reader? (It was like a comic strip version of the scriptures.)

Here's a link to watch the comic strips as a video - narrated and dramatized. They are simplified but surprisingly entertaining if you are in the mood. If you click on the story on the left you can just read the strips OR if you click on the video links on the right you can watch the story.

I am posting the New Testament link http://lds.org/library/display/0,4945,8187-1-4473-4,00.html so that if any of you have younger siblings you can find scripture stories we study in class and share them with your families during family night.

Enjoy!
