Level One
The talk we are studying together was given a couple of years ago in conference. It is called "Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives". I love that title! There is so much goodness here. Here is the link. Please prayerfully study this talk with the question, "How can I, personally, draw the power of Jesus Christ into my life?" Please also 1.- Write your thoughts in your journal 2- Share you favorite quotes and thoughts with us on this document.

Level Two

Isn't this an amazing picture? ALL of the apostles and first Presidency were in Rome for the dedication of the temple. Wow.

1. This new video of Elder Bednar and Elder Rasband giving a tour of the temple is unprecedented. It is like taking a temple prep class in a few minutes. I am so grateful that the church produced it! It might even answer some of your questions too.


2. The Pope of the Catholic church and President Nelson had a wonderful, historic, meeting. Please watch this video.


3. President and Sister Nelson spoke at a youth devotional the night before the dedication. Please watch the video here.


4. The Rome temple was dedicated on March 10th. Please watch the video here.


Level Three

Have you ever wondered how you can get everything done or how to manage your time better? I love this quote from the talk "Becoming True Millenials".  President Nelson is giving us the secret to time management! I love the last sentence and have a testimony that it is true!! When we give the Lord our time, he will multiply the remainder! For the level three challenge, please carefully read this quote as many times as you need to for it to really sink in. Then grab your journal and spend some time writing. How does this quote apply to you and time management? 

Where can you start? Begin by spending more time in holy places. The temple is a holy place. So is the chapel, where you make new sacramental covenants each Sunday. I invite you also to make your apartment, your dorm, your home, or your room a holy place where you can safely retreat from the dark distractions of the world.

Prayer is a key. Pray to know what to stop doing and what to start doing. Pray to know what to add to your environment and what to remove so the Spirit can be with you in abundance.

Plead with the Lord for the gift of discernment. Then live and work to be worthy to receive that gift so that when confusing events arise in the world, you will know exactly what is true and what is not. ⁷

Serve with love. Loving service to those who have lost their way or who are wounded in spirit opens your heart to personal revelation.

Spend more time—much more time—in places where the Spirit is present. That means more time with friends who are seeking to have the Spirit with them. Spend more time on your knees in prayer, more time in the scriptures, more time in family history work, more time in the temple. I promise you that as you consistently give the Lord a generous portion of your time, He will multiply the remainder.

Bonus

This week in class we will be playing a fun and competitive temple geography game.  In order to have an advantage on Friday, you might want to take a look at this list of the current and announced temples and see how quickly you can locate them on a map ;)

See you on Friday friends!!!
