Insights Into the Scriptures

Every Thursday evening, President Mike Thompson teaches a religion class.

This year, he is focusing on First and Second Nephi from the Book of Mormon...



He is the absolute BEST teacher, and

I love his teaching style.  He zeroes in on just a few key verses and explores those by asking people to focus and see what the scripture contains.

It's a unique style of teaching; more like the church wants us to do now.

Last night, he talked about conversion; he concluded that it is an ongoing process, but it involves covenants, study, prayer, and of course, being tested.  He used Saria from the Book of Mormon as an example of a person who becomes converted to her husband's being a visionary man, but it was a process, and happened only after the trial of sending her sons back to Jerusalem.

I'm learning a lot and....

And, I am grateful.
