This morning we talked about the students' trip to the temple this weekend. We discussed their feelings while they were in the temple, and we began a spiritual journal. Each of the student has a journal in which they can write each week to write down their spiritual experiences and impressions, or things that are important to them, which strengthen their testimonies. We discussed Moses' trip into the mountain, and discussed the appearance of the Lord to him, and was asked to remove his shoes. We talked about the reverence which we have when we go into these places, and discussed how our homes, and churches can also be temples when they are where we go to receive spiritual instruction.
Each student was asked (and most committed) to read Exodus 3-4 this evening. As they read, the students need to look for specific doubts or questions which Moses had regarding his calling. Then the students are asked to look for the specific answers which the Lord then gave Moses regarding his call in these two chapters.
Tomorrow, we will briefly discuss this and move onto 5-6.
