We met in the chapel today for a testimony meeting. Stephen Curdy conducted. We sang The Iron Rod to begin and God Be With You Till We Meet Again to close. Most of the students had an opportunity to share their testimony. I noted several comments that suggest we made progress in achieving the Objective given us by our living prophets:
“If I rely on Him, I can do anything.”
“I’m getting a feeling that I like the scriptures.”
“I see the natural man in me and thank the Lord for His strength.”
“If you rely on Him, He will help you. He’s never changing.”
“This is the first year I’ve actually read consistently and will finish the Book of Mormon before the end of the school-year.”
“My bishop challenged me to read the Book of Mormon before my 16th birthday. I finished the day before. I know it is true!”
“Jesus loves each one of us.”
“I’m thankful for the atonement in my life.”
“We have a bond as members of the Church.”
“Seminary has kept me more motivated to read the scriptures.”
“Seminary has helped me to learn how to apply the scriptures in my life.”
“Seminary has helped me become a better teacher.”
“The spiritual boost of seminary in the morning has helped me in so many ways.”
“I’ve truly had a change of heart this year.”
“On Monday I put Moroni’s promise to the test and I got my answer–the Book of Mormon is true!”
Tomorrow we will have our closing social. Thanks in advance to you parents who have helped put it all together. See you in the morning!
