Sunday School

Trevor and I got called to be ward missionaries. So far it's been great - a lot of work though.

This week was my first week teaching the Gospel Essentials class. I was beyond nervous, but Trevor helped me think through things and was really supportive.

The topic was "The Creation". I found a talk by Elder Nelson that had a piece in it that really touched me:

"While visiting the British Museum in London one day, I read a most unusual book. It is not scripture. It is an English translation of an ancient Egyptian manuscript. From it, I quote a dialogue between the Father and the Son. Referring to His Father, Jehovah—the premortal Lord—says:

“He took the clay from the hand of the angel, and made Adam according to Our image and likeness, and He left him lying for forty days and forty nights without putting breath into him. And He heaved sighs over him daily, saying, ‘If I put breath into this [man], he must suffer many pains.’ And I said unto My Father, ‘Put breath into him; I will be an advocate for him.’ And My Father said unto Me, ‘If I put breath into him, My beloved Son, Thou wilt be obliged to go down into the world, and to suffer many pains for him before Thou shalt have redeemed him, and made him to come back to his primal state.’ And I said unto My Father, ‘Put breath into him; I will be his advocate, and I will go down into the world, and will fulfil Thy command.’”

I love everything about this. I love how it shows Heavenly Father as such a loving Father. Ah. My new favorite quote. I could go on and on.

Happy Sunday from the Schauerhamers!!!

Love,
