For our signers this week, I'd like you to go to:

google document SIGNERS

Read the google doc to come familiar with who the signers are and all their names.  Then, come take the test below. (EVEN IF YOU DID IT LAST TIME!) 

Test: Take it TWICE! The first time you can look up the names, but DON'T on the second! It doesn't matter if you win or not, just do you best... and try to win. :) 

1.  signers test

Become/Serve 

Do either one or do both:

1. Journal about one or more of these quotes from the book for 10 minutes:

               a.  "Out of the smallest things the greatest things may be."

             

               b.   "Have good hope my friend from Europe, your best days are yet to come. Born again. Risen from the ashes. So many good things are in store."

             

               c.  "I can feel it. Can you feel it? There is something in the air. A new beginning. A new door. It is as if the sky has opened and the hand of God has been seen."

2.  Make a list of things that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does, and a list of things the Christian church was doing during the 14th and 15th centuries.  Compare them.

           Was the Christian church doing the right things? Were they really following God, and being like Jesus? What is different about our church, and the christian church during those centuries? Why is it important to know that our prophet will never lead us astray? The fact that our leaders are called of God? That our bishop can't start an army and force everyone to be in it, just 'cause he is the bishop? What promises do we get in our church about our leaders?
