July 4

Once again Scott taught a magnificent lesson.  He gave the prospective missionaries in the class religious terms and ask them to define the terms for an investigator in a short dynamic way. Most of them had trouble which is common with words one has known forever.  In that case knowledge is inherent and it becomes really tough to come up with a definition.  On the other hand, some of the terms were just difficult enough that they had a hard time: exhaltation, immortality, salvation, redemption.  All in all the students really needed this lesson before they leave to serve their missions.

One of the great blessings of this calling is watching Scott teach these young future missionaries. He is so grateful to be a member of the church, so grateful for those who took the time to introduce him to the truth that he just radiates a love for the work and for the words of the Lord. I appreciate his knowledge of the scriptures.  I can paraphrase a scripture and he can tell me where to find it.  He is better than the topical guide.

We forgot to celebrate the 4th today.  How could we forget?
