Looking forward to General Conference

I hope this doesn't sound redundant...but...I LOVE this class!  They really are an amazing group of young men and women!
In preparation for General Conference, I have challenged each of them to have a question or concern in mind.  They've written them in their journals and on a 3x5 card to remind them what answers they are looking for.  I know that even if their concern is not addressed at Conference, they can still find their answer by listening to the Spirit.  Please encourage them to watch as many sessions of Conference as possible...it will be a great blessing to them.  We will be discussing our Conference experiences in seminary on Tuesday.
No seminary on Monday, October 3.  It is our inservice meeting.
Next week we will finish studying Moses, Abraham, and Genesis 1-10.  We will be memorizing Genesis 39:9.
Our class president next week will be Austin Lange and Hannah Harris the week of October 10.
We will have breakfast on Friday provided by the Gharring's and Baugh's.  Thank you!!!
I am still looking for breakfast volunteers for November and December....PLEASE let me know if you are willing to serve us:)
Thank you again for sharing your wonderful children...I love them!

I LOVE this class!  Thank you!
Class updates:

We are currently memorizing Genesis 1:26-27 and we will be working on Leviticus 19:18 next week.
Our class president is currently Derek Downing and next week it will be Andrew Knowlton.

Announcement:
There is a CES Educational Fireside next week on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 7 PM at:
DelMar Stake Center
12701 Torrey Bluff Dr.
San Diego CA  92130
Church attire is recommended.
From the flier:
"Youth, parents, and Church leaders 
are invited to a special CES BeSmart 
Education Fireside presented by BYU, 
BYU–Idaho, BYU–Hawaii, LDS Business 
College, and Institutes of Religion. 
This one-hour interactive multimedia 
program will discuss topics such as 
preparing for college, admissions criteria, 
choosing the right college, and the LDS 
Institute program. Hope to see you there."

I attended one of these firesides many years ago with one of my sons and it was very helpful.  I highly recommend attending if your child is planning to attend one of these schools!

Week of September 5th

So far...so good!  This seminary class is awesome!
This week we will be studying the book of Moses and we will continue to memorize Abraham 3:22-23.  It's a tough one to memorize, but so important.
The class president this week is Derek Downing.  He will be selecting the opening hymn, assigning the prayers and insight, and will be welcoming the class.
Next Monday, September 12th there is no seminary. It's a teacher inservice day.
Please remind your youth to R.E.D. (Read Every Day)!  10 minutes of personal scripture study is recommended for all seminary students.
Thanks to Crystal Beutler for bringing breakfast on Friday...it was delicious!
I'm still looking for volunteers to bring breakfast in November and December.  Please let me know if you would be willing to cook for us:)
