The Plan of Salvation

Here they are...my Seminary students. Some are hiding but there are 29 in the picture (the girl (Heidi) in white is really not wearing a hat). Look at those happy faces. I love it when people are happy. It brings me a lot of joy.

Yesterday and today was a lesson on the Plan of Salvation. I must say that I thought it went really well. The students were asked to get into groups and look up the answers to questions about The Plan in the scriptures. After they drew an illustration of their part and then were asked to do a presentation. They were absolutely wonderful. It was a challenge to do a presentation with 20 minutes of preparation and stand up in front of everyone.
