What did you enjoy most about your favorite classes?
I must admit that I enjoyed the object lessons best. It was fun to put on the devotionals but it was probably not my favorite part of the class. I read the Book of Mormon for the first time because of Seminary and have learned to love it far more than I did then. (Hard to admit but true.) I look back now and wish I had put even more effort into seminary even though I did get straight A’s from those classes.
What special events or activities do you recall?
I had the opportunity to be on the seminary council for a couple of years. We had a lot of fun activities like hay rides in the fall and dances once in a while. The socials were always fun but that was probably more because Marie was there than the fact that it was a seminary activity. We did have one hay ride where we went up snow draw which was located by the airport above our home. I was probably the most instrumental in getting it there since that is where I always ran for training and was one of my favorite spots. Besides that it made the ride a couple of miles long.
What did you feel was the most important thing you gained from your seminary experiences?
The most important thing I got from seminary had to be a knowledge of the gospel that was learned from daily events rather than just on Sunday at church. It required reading the scripture which I most likely would have never done on my own even though I lived in a home where the gospel was a major part of our living experiences.
Enjoy Most...
ReplyDeleteI think the thing that i really enjoyed the most was how strong the spirit could get in those classes, and how much i learned at those times.
Special events/activities...
This one was when i was in High School. My teacher, Bro. Smith had an activity every year where you would wright him a letter telling him whatever and however much you wanted. He didn't judge you by what you wrote, but really tried to give guidence and support in his letter back to you. I truly poured out my heart to him and asked help for things that i was struggling with, but was too scared or afraid to talk to my dad or bishop about. He really helped to keep me on the right path in times when I really needed the right infulence but wouldn't accept it from certain people who could provide it.
Most Important thing gained from experiences...
I would say that the most important thing that i gained in all of my experiences is my testimony and the absolute knowledge that i have that God lives and loves us. I learned so many more things and so much deeper than i could have ever done on my own.
