This posting came a little late - my apologies to the home study students...
On Friday we did a little catch up to make up for missing on Monday, and for the prophet succession lesson that we did on Tuesday instead of the regularly planned lesson. We spent more than half of the class working together to memorize Isaiah 29. Everyone who was there passed it off - phew! After passing off the scripture mastery, we discussed lucky charms - not the cereal. The students who participate in sports talked about whether or not they use lucky shirts or socks etc. We discussed the validity of such faith in inanimate objects. We went into chapter 4 of 1 Samuel looking for the good luck charm the Israelites took with them into battle. We discussed why it didn't work for them, going back and reading in Joshua, the promises which the Lord had made regarding the ark. We then read in Mormon 9 regarding miracles and what is necessary for miracles - the source, and what is required. We then continued discussing chapters 5-8 of 1 Samuel. We discussed what happened to the Philistines' god Dagon, and then what happened to the Philistines. We discussed how the ark began to be passed from one city to another, and what the result was in each city. Finally, we discussed what the Philistines ultimately decided to do with the ark, and then what happened to the Israelites who received it from the Philistines.
This next week we will focus on 1 Samuel 9-31. Our scripture mastery will be Isaiah 53:3-5.
