Learning Can Be Fun!

We can't believe we are at the end of October.  Unlike the first couple of months, our mission is flying by.

Answer is at the end of this blog. Hint 2 Nephi 2:22-25.

This week we had seminary each morning except Friday.  There were no Wednesday evening activities at the church, so we had seminary in the morning,  We decided to make it fun for the kids and us.  On Tuesday we spent most of the time learning Doctrinal Mastery.  We did this by taking the scripture's key phrases and projecting them up on a screen.  Only, they weren't written out.  For those who remember the TV game, Concentration, that is how we set it up.

The last two days of seminary, we acted out the Allegory of the Olive Tree from the Book of Mormon.  Along with this we had them watch a short film where some teens acted the allegory out in costumes.  To really make things pleasant, I brought cinnamon biscuits with icing on the last day.

We had an interesting visit with an unusual missionary couple.  They were missionaries, but without badges.  They arrived at the end of the week.  We trained them in using Windows 10.  They were proficient in Apple computers and lost with Windows.  We also covered so other things to make it easier to use some of the software.

We spent part of two days with them.  Diane treated them as though they were dignitaries. Their assignment is to attend United Nations meetings and associated functions.  They will be stationed in Geneva and will report to the Church's legal council and the First Presidency.

They were so appreciative of our spending time with them, the sister asked to take our picture and commented that we were a tender mercy to them.  She also told us we were a "cute couple."

Nice close for a long week.

We want you to know we love you all and we are loving our mission.

On a sad note, the sister we were hoping to bring to church last week, didn't come.  We're still hopeful for this Sunday.

The answer:  "Adam fell that men might be."
